You are probably best off setting up a new Identity via File | Identities
and then importing the messages from the older identity, as it appears your
message store is corrupt.

I'm using OE6 with Win XP Home. After a crash when i go back into OE the
last
message in my inbox is selected, but the preview pane says "There are no
messages selected". OE is not responding and the hour glass prevents me
from
selecting any other message. The status bar says Working Online and
Connecting...

I've done the following without success: deleted the offending message
from
my mailbox via web mail; and removed and reinstalled OE6 via Windows
Components.

Any reply greatly received, would you please cc paul.mundy at gmail.com.

Cheers
Paul
