Default Unable to create new folder

Ok here is the deal...

I have 28 user defined folders in OE

12 of them are in the root of Inbox
7 are sub folders of the 12 above
3 are sub folders of the 7 above


3 are in the root of local folders
2 are sub folders of the 3 above

1 is a sub folder of sent items


When I right click on Inbox - then click new folder nothing happens.

No error message, no dialog box nothing


Have I hit a limit in OE?

There probably is a limit, but if there is, it would be much more than you
have.

I'm not clear as to "12 of them are in the root of Inbox". Do you mean
subfolders of the Inbox, and some of those have another subfolder attached
to the original subfolder? Confusing, but not a problem.

Click on Local Folders, then File | New | Folder. If that doesn't work, you
may have a damaged identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a
new one and test it. If all is well, you can import your messages from the
old identity and delete it.

Problem solved, I think.

I renamed the folder that the dbx files where in.
I then opened OE and imported all of the emails from the old folder to
the new ones created by OE when it opened.

Next problem...

I copy somthing into the clipboard from worn
Look at my email the go back to word and hit paste, only I get the
email text not what I copied.

Any clue?

Copy/Paste from Word does not work well since the two programs use different
editors. You would need to save the contents of the clipboard to a file
using an appropriate program (Paint for graphics/Notepad for text) and then
insert the saved file or attach it to your mail message.

Try this:

First click File | Work Offline.
Then click File | Folder | Compact All.
Then leave the computer alone until it finishes.

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use the default folders Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages.
Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
