Although written for WinXP, it works for all Windows operating systems 98 or
newer.

If you are using WinXP/SP2, and it was not already on your computer from the
factory, you will have to remove SP2 first.

Bruce:
1) I can see the messege headers, but When I double click on them oe just
hangs up on me.
2) I tried the new identitiy trick and the new identitiy has the same
sympthom.
3) I think oe is not loading correctly, I am saying this because if I
double
click another folder or try to perform another function or OE also hangs
up
on me.
4) I have my OE view set up with headers on the top pane and preview pane
on
the bottom part where I use to see message content, WHen OE loads I still
see
headers on the top part but the bottom part is blank, it does not matter
what
header I double click on.

Not even a message header to double click on? Can you see messages in
other
folders? View | Current View. Make sure Show All Messages is checked.

If that doesn't do it, you may have a damaged identity. File | Identity |
Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it. If all is well, you can
import your messages from the old identity and delete it.
