How to get rid of Inbox etc.?
 

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.

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.

Those are Outlook Express' default mailboxes. If you're not using them,
just ignore them. They're not contaminated.

Exactly how much "precious space" do you think these mailboxes are
taking up?

I use the Folder bar and have Contact and Folder list closed.
I have the full width of the screen for headers and Preview Pane.

Folders.dbx controls how the folders display.
If you do not have user created folders, close OE, move folders.dbx from the
OE Store Folder.
A new folders.dbx will be created when you reopen OE.
If that doesn't work, replace the new folders.dbx with the old.

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.

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.

P.S. If you go to Tools | Accounts | Mail, are there any listed there that
should not be? Could you have created an e-mail account and then added the
News account to it?

Bruce,
there is no any extra mail account.. Thanks for trying to help. I guess, I
just unsubscribe the whole thing and will subscribe again. The reason I
tried to avoid unsubscribe is that this news service is Microsoft Beta and
requires special ID and password... Will go through this again...

Ron and the rest of the people who got involved,
yes, I have Outlook Express and as I mentioned it in my original post, I'm
not concerned with the mail accounts. Everything is OK with them. My problem
is with the weird "additions" to one of my news reader. Along with the news
groups I'm subscribed to, these boxes are listed...
Here's how it looks:

Hotmail
Inbox
Sent Items
Deleted Items
Miscellaneous
Betanews.Microsoft.com
Inbox
Sent Items
Deleted Items
Microsoft.betanews...
Microsoft. betanews...
News.EarthLink.net
soc.genealogy...

Hope this clarifies my problem.
Regards,
Ilya
