Yes, OE was closed when I deleted Drafts.dbx. I couldn't even delete the
file when OE was open.

I have since re-created a drafts.dbx folder several times--still no luck.

I just restored from disk backup an old copy of drafts.dbx with 819 kb and 6
saved emails. They show up fine now in OE in the Drafts folder. But I still
can't save a new draft email.

is open.

What is the size of Drafts.dbx?

I am running XP SP2.

I can no longer "save" a created email in my Drafts folder. It gives me a
popup window with the message, "Cannot save this message". I can do a
"save as" and put it into my My Documents folder, but not a "save" to
store it as a draft.

I've tried deleting the Drafts.dbx file under the Identities folder for
OE, tried putting a new Drafts folder inunder Local Folders, but nothing
works.

Otherwise,OE is working OK.

How can I repair this?

Thnaks.
