    Since my last clean install of WinPoint, I've only ever sent any crash netmails to systems in z1 and z2 and WinPoint automatically created "Outbound" and "Outbound.001". At some point in the future, I may have the need to send crash netmails to systems in z3 and z4 and WinPoint would automatically create "Outbound.003" and "Outbound.004". WinPoint seems to have "collected" all the other Outbounds on its travels - don't need them because I haven't sent anything to any of those other zones. Your comments would be appreciated :-)

    Regards,
    Martin

    Hehe, same here. Never noticed that before. Apparently it started here last August doing that.

    I just checked and indeed WP (while scanning for any mail to be deliverd) seems to create an Outbound folder for each zone presented by a remote system during a mail session. Looks odd, but is totally harmless. Have added it to my list.
