I've been tempted to try Steve's fix, but I have emails going back to 1998,
and a boatload of user made folders. When I did the import from OE to
Windows Mail, it took me 6 hours to get everything straight again. My 16
email friends that are stuck in my inbox don't annoy me that much yet. But,
just in case that changes, I've made a copy of your instructions, and saved
them. It's a shame my idea was a bust.
Thank you for the instructions for the fix.
