I don't know the answer. I was under the impression that once you set up an
account in OE, Mail, or News, that those folders would be present.
Apparently I am mistaken.

That said, since you are not using them, if you click the minus (-) sign
next to Local Folders, those folders should collapse and not be seen.

Bruce,
I'm afraid, there was misunderstanding... I'm not speaking about MAIL
accounts and their default boxes. I have two mail accounts - EarthLink and
Hotmail. Both have Inbox, Sent and Deleted Items. Those boxes are default
and could not be removed. No question about this.
My problem is with the Inbox, Sent and Deleted Items, which somehow got
into NEWS reader. I have two news accounts - EarthLink and Microsoft. In
EarthLink, I subscribed to three NGs. They are listed there and nothing
else. In Microsoft, I subscribed to two NGs. They are listed there, but,
in addition to them, there are this "boxes" too! They are not default. I
never had any boxes in any news account! How did they get there - have no
idea.
Sure, I probably can close this account and start over... But if there is
another way to get rid of these boxes, I'd like to find it.
Thanks for your help.
Ilya

Were you using another e-mail program prior to setting up OE as a
newsreader? The folders you describe are there by default and you can't
get rid of them. However, if you do not use OE for mail, nothing will
ever enter those folders.

Recently, I established a news account and subscribed to two NGs.
While subscribing, somehow (it never happened to me before!) along with
the
two NGs I got "subscription" to Inbox, Sent and Deleted Items. Now
they
are sitting in the Local Folders pan and take precious space. Tried to
"unsubscribe" them to no avail. How do I get rid of these folders? To
make
it clear, I'm not speaking about identical folders in mail accounts,
EarthLink and Hotmail. The Inbox, Sent and Deleted folders are under the
betanews account.
