problems w/my OE6

1- can't create folders. go to file, new, folders or right click, try all
ways and
nothing happens. see 'time capsule' but no window opens to configure for
new folder.

2-not seeing in the bottom tray/task bar on my desktop the incoming message
icon/envelope. when have new messages inbox, always see the envelope in the
tray

Both of the above where never a problem before. Just started.

Thanks.
