Hi MC,

In your Identities Folder each identity should have a unique number.
Something like {A98CD159-12BB-434A-B9EC-ACCA9AA33473}for one of the
identities and a different number for each of the others

Are you saying there are two identities with the same number?
-----------------

The identity used by you is displayed by choosing Tools, Options,
Maintenance tab, then choosing Store Folder. The same procedure will
display your wife's.

| 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.

| 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?

| 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.

| one for my wife. I noticed that when I go to the .dbx files where
OE
| stores

norm? I

| I'm wondering why this is and, more importantly, how I can combine
the

this

reinstall.
| Thank you.
