Ron,
When I open OE and click on Identities, there are two and only two.
But when I go to the Identities folder, there are four. Two for me, and two
for my wife.
Leading me back to my original question: can I merge these folders so that
the two folders for me become one, and the two folders for my wife become
one? And if so, how?
Thank you.

If you create a new Identity, then there will be the Main Identity and the

I don't understand why you have four Identities.
In OE, File, Switch Identities
How many Identities are listed?

You can import messages from other Identities.
Make sure that there are no duplicates before importing.

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.

Running OE6, and Windows XP Pro SP2.
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.
