OK - sorry. I keep forgetting OE's import feature. I tried importing my
recovered address book & that at least stopped OE from accessing the old
book.

I need only a single OE identity & address book.
I have only one ID in OE (File/Identities) but my OE maintenance store
location tree contains several old IDs besides my current one. (I'd like
to
delete the old, unused IDs from the explorer tree - but not when I cannot
predict the results.)

Furthermore - OE does not access my current address book that I managed
recently to fully recover. It presents me with obsolete WAB files only.
(What a weird, frustrating situation!)

So - is there a protocol that will simplify my OE by:
1. Restablishing a single OE ID - with all my current IE folders still
intact?
2. Allowing me to replace all existent WAB files (if necessary) with my
RestoredAddressBook.wab - so that IE will access only that one, single WAB
file?

Thanks - Blithe
