Bruce,

Nothing is/was selected except Show all messages. I also learned just
recently here about not archiving mail in default OE folders, so since
then I have been creating and storing mail in other folders. I don't
know how much 100 MB is, how can I figure how much space that is? I did
the manual compacting and always do it when I get the popup box asking
me to do it. Is it better to do it manually than wait until it asks me?
I did not have Compact messages in background checked.
Thanks,
Sanandra


Ron,

I have tried to create a new identity several times in the past, but
always get hung up at a certain point and can't progress any further.
It's not fresh in my mind now what it was, but I hope that won't be
necessary.
Thanks,
Sanandra
