I've had so many previous email addresses . . . it would be a pain to track them all down. And I had a ton on my last computer before the stupid tech person had me delete them. My email program was being buggy, and she told me we weren't deleting anything, so I didn't need to back anything up. Argh!!
OE is a sieve for viruses. Bite the bullet and use something else. Unless you want your computer to get trashed. Don't worry about importing. Just keep an archive.
I know someone would come up with that - and yep, I do agree! If you however disable the preview panel no virus can't go through unless you manually open the infected mail - with that I can live.. Every once in a while I'm trying a new email proggie though, maybe I'll be lucky one day.
At work that is a diffrent story. I average anywhere from 5-10 emails a day (sent) and God only knows how many received.
