What is OE's Maximum Number of Email Accounts?

Is there a limit to the number of email accounts OE will
check when you click on Send/Receive?

I have about forty accounts that I am checking and it
only checks 32 of them. They are all valid accounts (I
double-checked this) and they are all selected
as "Include this account when receiving mail or
synchronizing" in the properties for each account.

Is there a setting in the registry that I can change to
increase it beyond 32?

If it's limited to 32, then I need to get rid of OE and
use something else because creating another identity is a
waste of time.

Thanks to anyone with help.
 
There is no limit, theoretically. I'd imagine polling 32 accounts after
hitting Send/Receive or Receive All can take quite a bit of time. Is OE
also configured to poll all accounts on a schedule
(Tools>Options>General>Check for new messages...)? There may be a conflict
if the interval here is too short.

Disable email scanning. It may be interfering, can cause file damage and
loss of messages, and it provides no additional protection.
