OE6 in XP has crashed - so am trying to unistall IE6 SP2 and OE6 (and will
then reinstall) - but cannot find it in the add/remove program list. Also
tried to remove in the Windows Component Add/Remove button - but still cannot
remove.
 
Reinstalling OE won't help. Start here:

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
