OE6 opens fine. It reads new mail fine. It reads new newsgroup messages
fine. It will not send anything. It just sits there until it tells me it isn't working. If I close it, it will not reopen. It just ignores me, and then says that OE is already running. When I shut the computer off, it says that "O" is still running and I have to close it before the computer can shut down. However, when I do a ctl-alt-del, it doesn't show any programs running; "O", OE, or anything else. When I reboot, it happens all over again. I compressed the files; that didn't change anything. I just installed Norton Systemworks, but the problem didn't start immediately, so I don't think they are related. I have run various virus and spyware programs, but they don't show anything. Any idea what is going on? What is this "O"? Thanks |

But, I am having the same problem with two XP computers; the ME computer seems fine. Thanks. |

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 Suanne Lippman wrote: OE6 opens fine.
