Delores Check how much you have in your OE totally and in folders. I have found that it did many quirky things when too full. I lost folders and even had it shutting off my connection when trying to download into certain folders. In 98SE I tried to keep my whole set of folders under 800 mb. I just changed the folder I was storing my files in and started a new OE and imported a old folder as I had time to deal with the mail. I was in a bunch of graphic groups back then. lol But it did stop the quirly things without a reformat.
