Just to reiterate what Bruce said, make sure you backup frequently, as the
OE message store can spontaneously destruct (never mind the hard drive could
fail).

Hi Folks

OE6 is my only email app; and being a web-designer, I've got dozens of
mail-boxes and zillions of email sorting rules. I've been hesitating to
upgrade my IE6 browser because of many issues I see on the internet
regarding issues of IE7 & 8 adversely affecting OE6 performance.

a couple of questions: when you upgrade IE to v 7 or 8, does OE6 still
remain, or is it automatically upgraded to OE7 or 8?

AND .... have the negative effects on OE been fixed with any of the IE7 or
8 updates; meaning, is it yet safe for me to upgrade, since I depend on
the email program quite a bit?

thanks for any news on these concerns ...

Jerry.
