Residual dbx files
Hi All,
Ok, it may be because of another problem that I have had with OE, but I notice that I have what appear to be old newsgroup dbx files hanging around. Is there any maintenance routine that will sort this or should I just delete them. Also in the maintenance routines what is the difference between removing messages and deleting messages? Cheers. Bill. |

Just delete them. Sometime if you just use Go To and don't subscribe, the
dbx file will remain. Remove and delete is the same for newsgroups since OE only mirrors what is on the server. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Bill" wrote in message ...
