How to get rid of Inbox etc.?
What the folder list should look like is:
Local Folders Inbox Outbox Sent Items Deleted Items Drafts Hotmail Inbox Sent Items Deleted Items Miscellaneous Betanews.Microsoft.com Microsoft.betanews... Microsoft. betanews... News.EarthLink.net soc.genealogy... Do you have anything under Local Folders? If there is a + in front of Local Folders click it to expand the folders list. If the Local Folders is missing or is there but doesn't have at least 5 folders listed above, then the Folders.DBX file is probably corrupted. See what Ron suggested for fixing that. If the Local Folders look OK, I would remove the Betanews.Microsoft.com news account, then restart OE and set it up again. A news account shouldn't have an Inbox etc. It could be that somehow the account got confused and OE thinks it's an IMAP or HTTP mail account. You didn't by chance at one time set up Betanews.Microsoft.com saying it was that? If you continue to have problems, you need to try a new Identity in OE. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "ilyaz" wrote in message link.net... Ron and the rest of the people who got involved, yes, I have Outlook Express and as I mentioned it in my original post, I'm not concerned with the mail accounts. Everything is OK with them.

How to get rid of Inbox etc.?
Michael,
thanks for your message. I know what the folder list should look like and mine always looked this way. However, for some reason, when I recently re-subscribed to betanews, I got those extras... Anyway, I deleted that weird account and opened it again without any problem. Thanks for your suggestions. Ilya "Michael Santovec" wrote in message ...
