## I can't do what this is telling me (import messages) because I do not
have OUTLOOK or MS EXCHANGE on my PC, only OE. How is it done with OE6? I
still can't find the second identity in OE. When I try to change identity
nothing happens. I have WXP-Home/SP2 on my PC.

Then select the identity you want to import from. You'll need to do
the same with addresses and such.

Please try snipping parts of previous messages no longer relevant or top
post as it is difficult to determine where the latest message is!

You're right I was lazy and didn't snip, but I don't top post.

My comments were actually directed at freespirit! I do not suggest we
start a discussion on the merits of top and bottom posting as usually
neither party will ever agree with the other <g>.

Wasn't trying to start anything just stating the way I do things :-)
I've seen those long threads too and they're a waste of space.

==================
Thanks! I ended up deleting ALL MESSAGES and reselecting and downloading
headers all over again. That worked! I couldn't get anything to download
from any server that was recent. I'll keep this url for the next DISASTER!

================
The idea was to EXPORT all the messages from the INBOX to a folder somewhere
rather than save (drag & drop) them one at a time. I don't need 2
identities on my PC.
