OK spamfighter is history.  Didn't like it anyway, just too lazy to dump it.

All my antivirus programs are disabled at the present time and I ( through
another suggestion) messed with my sent and inbox.

I just changed my identity to George.

We'll see because here it comes.  Glenn (George)

Added to many of your posts here:

I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
It has removed 2 spam emails to date.
Paying users do not have this message in their emails.
Try www.SPAMfighter.com for free now!

Other OE users have reported bizarre problems using SPAMfighter. Uninstall it, reboot and see if your problems persist.

Not all of the messages in this thread are available to me so apologies if this has been posted previously and doing so hasn't helped you:

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity (File>Identities>Add new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages from the old Identity before deleting it (File>Identities>Manage Identities).

OE Caveats:

Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
