Peter,
I might throw this in the pot for you.. As far as most of us are
concerned, do not let the main 5 folders of OE become "bloated".. You
mentioned sub folders under in INBOX.. This is not really a good way to save
your mail.. Make NEW folders under LOCAL FOLDER and store the messages in
USER defined folders. The Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Item, and the
Drafts folder should never be used for storage. You will end up with
corruption of the folders and a good chance of losing some of your E
Mails... I would also recommend that you use OE Backup by David Guess to
store you messages.

Steve Cochrans DBXTract to drill deeper.

Hope this helps and hope you see it.
