If a copy of the message appears in Sent Items folder (assuming you have the
option enabled), the problem's not on your end.

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I have been having trouble sending emails from my Outlook Express for a
few
months now. At first I wasn't able to send anything only receive. So I had
my computer reformatted. I have XP Pro and OE is part of the program. I
thought it handled the problem but I just found out that I can forward
mail
and reply to mail (I think) but I can not "Create" a new email that will
go
to most of my recipients.
I sent it to myself today and I received it. Than I sent it to my wife's
computer and she didn't get it. I have a business and reply heavily on
this.
Are there any suggestions? I desperately need you help.
