Yet Another OE locks up request for help!!
why is this so hard? I've searched a zillion oe sites, and usenet
msg's. I can't seem to find any relevant information. I'm running office 2000 (with outlook) along with ms exchange. (I've tried on win2k & xp) I'm running IE6, and OE6 with all available patches installed. I've never used OE - so I CAN'T have any corrupt files - can I?!?. Now I want to test email on an internet account, so I'm trying to use OE. I've added the internet email account to OE, and OE starts up. I can open the list of folders, but as soon as I click on ANY folder, OE locks up. if I go to the folder where OE stores its files: 1) I've tried deleting all the files, restart OE, the files get recreated, but now OE locks up during startup. 2) I've tried deleting only the folders.dbx file; OE starts, re- creates it, and locks up when I click on any folder. 3) I've check any & all registry settings I've read about, to no avail. All I freaking want to do is see if I can send/rcv Email from an internet account!!! I've now spent ALL MORNING trying to get OE to do this! This should NOT be so freaking hard. ne ideas? TIA - Bob

Try a new identity. Assuming you've got no data in the original one yet,
simply delete it. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) [working offline] MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin; DTS-L.org Bob wrote: why is this so hard?

Yet Another OE locks up request for help!!
I'm appreciative to those that replied...
As I've never used OE, there certainly isn't anything to lose by deleting the ID, and creating a new one... problem is, that OE locks up BEFORE I can go to create a new identity!!! is there a command line to create a new ID?

PA;
TX, I did delete the identity, which, BTW, was the only one (both registry entry & folder). Opening OE afterward, OE did re-create all of the entries, but still locks up before I can do a single thing. NE other ideas?
