It is all in the Main Identity folder, in the Database file. Take a look at the size of it. If you want to *view* what is actually in that big file, just look at your Mail window. That's the window that you see every time you open OE. As to where to look in your Mail window, if you have not organized your mail into new folders, and if you have not made any rules for handling mail, then all your mail must come into your Inbox and stay there until you delete it. When you delete it, it goes into Deleted Items and stays there until you delete it again. And if the right preference has been checked, there will be a copy of every message you ever sent in your Sent Items folder. So look at Inbox, Sent Items, and Deleted Items. In any case, all the mail that you have ever received or sent, and that has not been deleted, is visible in the folders down the left side of the Mail window.
