What PA Bear said. As I replied in your OP in Windows Help & Support,
subfolders can reside under any folder you wish. It is /not/ a bad practice,
but you need to heed the caveats PA Bear posted regardless of where the
folders reside.

I've been adding folders under the "Inbox" folder for a long time. Then,
I
began adding folders under the sub-folders - ie. nesting folders. This is
not a good practice I'm learning after my OE database became corrupted. I
also have allowed the folders get too large which contributed, I'm sure.
So,
I have a couple of questions:

1) If I can't put my user folders under the "Inbox" folder, where do I put
them and how are they handled with the software?

2) If 100 mb is the arbitrary maximum size of the folder, how can I tell
how
large the folders are quickly so I can do something about it?

Thanks much,

Mike
