In the past I have created many folders in the inbox. Today, the process
would not work. After selecting file/folder/new the hour galss came on but no new folder appeared. I also tried the ctrl+shift+E but that did not work either. Each of the above actions were tried when the "inbox" icon was highlighted. I was able to delete an old unused foler in my inbox, thinking that maybe there is a limit to the number of folders you can have. Any suggestions?? I am using XP. Thanks for your help. |

First, compact your folders. Click on Outlook Express at the top of the
folder tree so no folders are open. Then: FileWork Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). FileFolderCompact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed. If still no joy, 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. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ How to Create and Use Identities in Outlook Express http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209169 "tilden" wrote in message ...

![]() Bruce, thanks. I compacted as you suggested but still could not create a new subfolder in my default identity. I actually already have 3 identities, each with a different email address. I am able to create subfolders in the other two identities but not in my main/default identity. I am using Mcafee spam killer. If i create a new identity to replace my default identity, how do i import my old folders. Thanks for your help, Jonathan "Bruce Hagen" wrote: First, compact your folders.

McAfee is causing the problem.
Get rid of it. see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 you'll probably have to check your account settings via Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties to fix the crap that McAfee put in there. Or was that Norton. steve "tilden" wrote in message ... Bruce, thanks. I compacted as you suggested but still could not create a new subfolder in my default identity.
