Outlook and OE are the only two brain-dead programs that I know that put
critical data in the Local Settings folder by default.
I've used IMAP the last 6 years or so, so this is a non-issue for me.

Interesting - just checked, and googled on that service, and it does
appear to be useless. I disabled it to see if I notice any difference -
not that I was having any problems...
Network browins does seem a *little* snappier - hard to tell, though,
since I never complained about it before...
