OS=W2K (SP4)
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

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.

One step at a time. Is the current identity you are using the only one you
want? Then go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and write down
the GUID, (long string of letters and numbers).

Go back to the path you found and each identity will have its own GUID. Find
the one with the matching letters and numbers and delete all but that one.

In fact - I did get ahead of myself. I know the string number belonging to
my current ID - but before I delete the others - you will have to know,
Bruce, that I changed the location of the store folder. So - all the ID
folders in the tree contain no data - including the one that was mine that I
relocated.

I moved the relocated store folder to C:/Program Files/Outlook
Express/MyAddressBook -
& when opened it contains all .dbx files - but it does not appear to have
all the files I expected to see.

Obviously I am confused & have confused dbx folders with my wab file(s). So
before I do anything more unwise, I will await your further advice.

Let's be careful from the start.

Open the Address Book and File | Export | Address Book (wab) to any place on
your HDD that is easy for you. My Documents is fine. Now you have a copy
just in case.

Find the message store you are using.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in
Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run.

Does that store folder look like it's the correct one? Want to be sure? Note
the size of the Inbox.dbx file. In OE, send yourself a message. Did the
Inbox.dbx file size increase?

Yes: You have the correct message store and can delete the other identities.

Bruce - I think I'm back to where I want to be, thanks. However, I did not
pass your test to determine if the Inbox.dbx had increased in size.

I returned the store folder back to the original Identity folder (GUID) & I
deleted the old ones.
The complexities of OE are too much like a rubik's cube that I'll leave to
more patient & able mindsets. I found my stress level getting too high - so
whatever is working for me now - I'll live with it. Blithe

deposited in metallic truck box in security company in Coted Ivoire-a remote
states in Africa. Every other deposit have been consficated and seized by the
the government of Madam Gloria the President of republic of philippine .But,
this one is the only one they could not see, as I did kept the deposit
certicate and deposit agreetment with one of my close confidant.

The Amount being deposited is 11 Million United states dollars,as this was
the money that was supposed to be used by the President to acquire some
properties in Africa. All, I want from you, now is honesty and sincerity, as
soon as this money is claimed by you, I will look for a way out and sneaked
out of Abidjan and travel down to meet you in your country , the shipment
cost and demurrage has being taken care of as at the time of deposit.I would

agreetment which i am prapared to forward to you with more hint on how to

metallic box containing fund on my behalf to your country while i join you at
