I am trying to clean up outlook express 5 on the Mac. I am running OS 8.6.
I have a bunch of old customized folders that I used to download newsgroup
messages and mail to. I deleted these folders and they do not appear when I
load OE. However, when I highlight a message in a newsgroup and go to copy
to folder. It lists all of the old folders that I have already deleted to
choose from. How can I delete all of these old folders from this memory so
that when I go to copy a message to a folder, only the current folders that
exist show up in that scoll down bar? Where is this information stored?
Can anyone help. Thanks.

If you need to reply directly to me, just remove the capitalised letters
from my faked e-mail address. Otherwise, please post back to the
newsgroups.
