You could use Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, or Office Outlook as alternatives to OE. But since you're using OE, that means you're still on XP which is going to lose the last of it's support from MS come April. It's time to move to Windows 7 or 8.
OE will not let me delete inbox mails or move them to another folder. "an error has occurred" I have marked as read, tried file delete, all the normal buttons. Do i need a separate software to go in and force it? Can't even move them to another folder! Also compacted in case that might work.
thanks
