Creating a new identity did the trick, Bruce. Thank you very much!

Hi Bruce, yes, you understood correctly. I am scheduled to give this a

this afternoon, and I will post back when I am done. Thanks for all of
your
help!

If I understand correctly, that should be OK. The damage is actually in

Thanks Bruce. I had created a message store folder out under C when I
created
the account in OE. Can I point the new identity to this store folder
or
would
that folder contain elements of the damaged identity and thereby
making
this
a bad idea. I can certainly do the import, but this would be easier.

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.

When composing or responding to email in OE 6, I am running into a
new
situation where the letters I am typing are delayed as to when
they
actually
appear in the body of the email. This is a brand new computer
(three
months),
and it just started happening. Now it happens all of the time.....

Does any one have a solution to this?
