I think she customized her toolbar - she has Headers and Newsgroups icon on
there.

Katie - right click on the toolbar and choose Customize. Then in the right
hand column, click on the icons youdon't want on the Toolbar and then click
on the remove button in the middle. You won't see the list of newsgroups
again. You can't delete the list itself.

I may be up too late Katie, but I'm still not sure what you mean. I
have attached a screen shot of what I am looking at in my OE. There
are some options to change the layout, but maybe you can set me
straight as to what you are asking by looking at mine.

(Hurry. I will be gone at 11 PM, PST)

I'm not sure what you are asking about the newsgroups. Top
right-hand corner of what? In OE, the only ones you should see are
the ones in the Folder Tree below the Local Folders that your are
subscribed to. --

With no error message, we can only guess. Start with these
suggestions.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a
redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down
sending, and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and
account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually
become corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing
mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder
regularly. Keep user created folders under 100MB, and Default
folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually
while working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no
folders are open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click
Working Online in the Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all
folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in
background and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

And backup often.
