| | Two sets of folders When I blundered into WLM for XP, I liked it immediately. But, I probably didn't set it up correctly. Now I see that I have two sets of Drafts, Sent Items, and Deleted items folders. I mainly use the ones under 'Tom's Email' but I also have them under Storage Folders. I suspect it has something to do with what I previously had in OE. I would like to delete the ones in the Storage Folders but I don't see any simple way (right-click>delete) to do that. I guess I could do it from the windows Explorer in the Folder view. C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Storage Folders Any problem with that? Any advice is appreciated. Tom |

| | Re: Two sets of folders The Drafts and Sent items folders under Storage folders are used for newsgroup postings. The Deleted items folder under Storage folders is used for items deleted under Storage folders. You can't get rid of them, but you can hide them: [View >] Layout > Folder pane > Show storage folders. Don't do anything with files and folders in the file system - you'll foul up the database and give yourself lots of headaches. Do all your file manipulation in the program's user interface. -- Noel "Tom Brown" <NoSpam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ekYNJm2cJHA.3708@xxxxxx Quote: > When I blundered into WLM for XP, I liked it immediately.
