Ron, there are a total of four folders for two identities. Two per identity.
Each folder has a long string of numbers as the name. When I deciphered
each folder, two were for me, two for my wife. Each contained all the OE
folders in it: inbox, sent, deleted, etc.
So I'm wondering why two per identity, and if it is possible to merge the
two folders per identity into one per identity?

Do any of the files have a number, (1) ?
I don't know what you mean by two files for each of us.
Each folder in OE has a dbx file.
Every Identity has it's own folders and dbx files.

I have two email accounts set up with my ISP, (Comcast). One for myself
and
one for my wife. I noticed that when I go to the .dbx files where OE
stores
its messages, there are two files for each of us. Is this the norm? I
wouldn't think so.
I'm wondering why this is and, more importantly, how I can combine the
duplicate files so each of us has one file per identity. I figure this
would
make things easier for me when I backup and should I need to reinstall.
Thank you.
