    Your Outbox may be corrupt. Delete the Outbox.dbx file and then a new one will be created when you restart OE.

    To delete that file navigate to:

    C:\Documents and Settings\~ username~\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\~ id number~\Microsoft\Outlook Express.

    Delete the Outbox.dbx file

    Alternatively you can locate that Outbox.dbx using Search from the Start Menu.

    Note: to locate that file you must have "Show hidden files and folders" enabled.

    Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders.

    Search turns up nothing when I type in "Outbox.dbx."
    I get bogged down trying to get there with your
    "C:\Documents and Settings\~ username~\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\~ id number~\Microsoft\Outlook Express." suggestion.

    Local Settings does not appear to be there, and I'm unclear about "id number" Maybe I'm doing something wrong - as usual.

    I did search for plain ".dbx" and only one result turned up...to do with music.
