YW & thanks for posting back.

Thanks, Bear, and Frank Saunders also. "Show all messages" was checked
so I did a "compact all folders" offline and disabled the email scanning
feature in CA my etrust and Zone Alarm. I can't tell for sure if the
problem has gone away but all OE6 actions have speeded up considerably so
I assume it's fixed.

Avoid Such Corruption in Futu
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.
- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a
manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.
- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.
- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

After running OE6 for a few hours and switching to sent items,
out-box or deleted items, then back to my inbox, it has emptied
itself. Refreshing does not cause the entries to return. If I
re-boot Windows, the items in the in- box have returned and it works
normally for a few hours, then empties again and I have to re-boot
again.
Any ideas?
Win 98se, 300 MHz P11, 320megs Ram. IE6, OE6, CA anti-virus, ZA free,
several anti-spyware preventers, Comcast broadband cable.
