Default Outlook Express Create Mail Folder Failure

Two machines with recently updated OE-6 on them refuse to allow additional
mail folders to be created. One machine has 10 folders on it and the other
has 8. Our older machines have 30-40 folders. How do I create more folders
for my users?

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old
identity and delete it.

Thanks Bruce, worked great. I think this a result of a M/S update. I didn't
do this until recently.

A corrupt identity can happen at any time, especially the main identity
because it has a few extra registry keys. Whenever setting up OE, either a
new machine, or reinstall, I skip right to a second user created ID and
forget the main ID. Another of OE's fragile vulnerabilities.

Glad it's working & thanks for posting back.
