Re: Unable to open the Address Book. The address book may not be i

Each Identity will have a copy of the folders.dbx file. You want the one from the identity that won't work. However, if its the address book that is the problem you may need to rename the wab file to get OE to function again, I think.

Steve,

OE opens fine (except for the address book) and emails flow into the inbox.
You just can't create a new email or reply/forward existing ones. I'll try
your suggestion though when I get home. Is it a specific folder named
folders.dbx or is it all of them?
