Default OE locks up with invalid POP3 and SMTP servers

I tried to add a new identity with a new account, but when I entered the
POP3 and the SMTP servers, I mistakenly enter the "@" sign instead of a dot
sign. Although OE warned me that the servers were invalid, I was just too
fast and saved the settings by mistake. Now when I start OE, it will just
hang.

1) How can I completely remove the invalid identity and the invalid account
and get back to the default one?
2) Is there any way of fixing the wrong names without deleting the identity?

The PC is running Windows 98SE and IE has been upgraded to IE6 SP1 several
months ago. Please help!

Jimmy Ho
