Outlook express resending items from outbox

[Hawkers]

The "Sent Items" folder has a capacity of 2GB. Once this capacity is reached, new messages WILL remain in your outbox, and probably get resent. To resolve this issue delete ancient sent messages or move them to another folder

:-)

If it gets to this point, I've found deleting, moving, breathing on any email is a roll of the dice. If you can't delete sent items.dbx i've found the following method to works good.

Open OE and create a new folder "123"
Close OE then navigate to 123.dbx using Windows Explorer "use search if you don't know where the mail store is"
Delete 123.dbx
Rename sent items.dbx 123.dbx
Open OE and PRESTO!!! are alll the sent items under the 123 folder.
Rename the 123 folder accordingly "sent items archive" and never do anything with the folder other then open messages for reference.
