Hello all,
I've looked through the posts in this group and Googled but unable to find an answer. For some reason I have a "Inbox" folder under "Newsgroups" that I never subscribed to. I've tried to unsubscribe and even deleted the sub-folder in my dbx folder but no joy. When I click on the "Inbox" folder OE tries to download headers, then pops up an error message that there's no such group on the server. Can anyone help?? Sure would appreciate it.

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages from the old Identity before deleting it (File Identities Manage Identities). To avoid such corruption in futu - Don't use 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://insideoe.tomsterdam.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 such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Shell/User, Security), Aumha.org VSOP, DTS-L.org Louie T Lizard wrote: Hello all, I've looked through the posts in this group and Googled but unable to find an answer.
