OE has been working fine for years. Now just of late it very often opens with
only the left hand side showing, ie. Local Folders and Contacts. The rest of
the page is blanked out with the egg timer showing on it. Why is this? Thanks.

Try deleting folders.dbx. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7

General OE Caveats:

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

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.

- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection:

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
