extra? dbx files
In checking my dbx files, I notice that I have a bunch of "Search Folder"
dbx files, e.g., Search Folder (1).dbx, Search Folder (2).dbx, Search Folder (3).dbx, etc. Should I delete them or leave them? Also, I have some other extra dbx files like Inbox (1).dbx and Sent Items (1).dbx. Should I delete them or leave them? Jack

extra? dbx files
I have a .dbx which does not show up in OE. But I don't know how to use your
suggestion of DBXtract to see what's inside it -- can't find a file named DBXtract. Or can I get OE to show the folder directly?
