I wasn't planning on using more than one identity (have been only using one 
all this time.)

Instead of 'identities' I have tried this to 'read' other computer's mail 
folders.

I create a folder and call it something (other computer, for instance) under 
'local folders' then rename the copy of the other computer's letters from 
its folder name to 'other computer' then open this mew folder with oe.

This has worked for individual oe folders on the other computer. Is there an 
easier way to have several folders deep there - or how does the multiple 
identities work for reading mail that is several folders deep under the 
local folder heading. Do I make up a 'carbon copy' of the folder tree in the 
new identity?
