Identities, especially the main default identity can become corrupt for numerous reasons.
As far as deleting the old ID, once you are positive you have everything from it you need, and the new one is working fine, go ahead and delete it.
It doesn't hurt being there, so just don't delete it without being certain.

OK!, I've copied BOTH WAB and .dbx folders. All appears done. I have not yet deleted the old identity. Can one leave it - or is it wiser to remove it?
I'm still wondering what went wrong - james
"James" <jc55@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:u0RWiZwWHHA.3652@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI just 'discovered' how to copy my .dbx folders - was easy. Now, How do I copy my WAB from old identity to the new one?

Bruce, et al,
Somehow, I've managed to eradicate the 'extra' top entry in my 'Create New Mail.' So, tomorrow, I'll once again try to copy all my .dbx folders from old 'defective' identity to this new one.
Is there an easy way to copy {or move} from one identity to another? I've never done that.
Also, can anyone tell me what most likely went wrong?
Thanks - james
"James" <jc55@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:eW02gAwWHHA.4872@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI hardly know how to describe this new problem. This evening while reading inbox mail in the view window {below the inbox}. All of a sudden, the scroll bar wouldn't move, the entire window began to shimmy. Next, the font size seemingly increased two sizes. Arial 8 looks like 12.
I rebooted PC. Functionality basically returned - except, the font size is out of whack - too big. Some old e-mails look ok, but if I attempt to forward and add content, my normal Arial 12 looks two sizes bigger.
Two days ago, Bruce Hagen guided me through creating a new identity for a neighbor's ailing PC {her toolbar had disappeared]. With that experience fresh in my mind, I attempted to create a second identity just to see if it returned the font sizes back to normal. It did, BUT, I now see a strange 'Create New Message' window - it contains an additional top 'line.' Just above the normal 'To:' line, there's another one entitled: 'From:' In the line/box is: jc55@roadrunner. com (pop-server.roadrunner.com). [I can't delete anything within this top 'From' box]
Try as I may, I can't remove this top line. I've never seen this extra line entry before. If I could remove it, I would probably attempt to {once again} copy my long .dbx folder group and my WAB from the old identity - and use the new identity.
Bruce, less than two weeks ago, you guided me through a lengthy process for reducing a bloated .dbx store so I could migrate it to my new Dell.
I thought I'd finally finished dialing in this new Dell {WinXP Pro}
I don't have a clue what's going on with my OE6. I really need help. [in fact, this e-mail is looking too 'large']. I've no idea what went haywire.
James
