Did you close OE before you deleted the Outbox? OE has to be closed when you
do this. Move any messages from Sent Items you wish to save and delete that
as well.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending, and causes a multitude
of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date
A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

If still no joy:

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old
identity and delete it.

...
When I send a message two things happen. First when I click the send
button,I
get a window to drop down from Outlook Express with a warning yellow
triangle
in the left corner. It says, "Some errors while processing the requested
tasks. Please review the list of errors below for more details." The TASK
tab
shows the email message with a "warnings" in the status column. There is
nothing in the ERROR tab. The message gets sent and also goes into the
OUTBOX
where it is resent each time the program goes in to check for messages.
The
sent message does not appear in the SENT MESSAGES folder. The only way to
stop the multiple messages from being sent is to go into the OUTBOX and
delete the message. Any ideas how to correct this? I deleted the OUTBOX
from
the store folder but it did not work. I stopped scanning out going email
messages but it did not work. HELP!!!!
