34754 2002-02-07 05:12:00 In the Internet Accounts dialogue box in Outlook Express under the Directory Services tab I have a number of default accounts, eg Bigfoot Internet Directory Service, InfoSpace Business DS, VeriSign Internet DS, Yahoo! People Search, and some others.

What are these for? Can I delete them all?

Thanks!

34756 2002-02-07 11:45:00 they are what they are... a directory service, think of it as like a big list of people. They (ISP/ASP's) use LDAP standards to allow any system that can use LDAP to lookup a person or entry in the directory. But yes for the most part they are a waste of space, get rid of them. Guest (0)
34757 2002-02-07 19:52:00 I did wonder whether that was the case but just wanted it confirmed.

Thanks to you both for replying.
