Hi PA Bear:

The following are sizes as you requested:

Inbox.dbx 59kb
Sent Items.dbx 59kb
Deleted Items.dbx 59kb
Folders.dbx 326kb
Store Folder* 15.9MB *This folder contains all .dbx files and I
assume that is the one you wanted.

Thanks,

ColTom2

P.S. Sorry that it took so long to reply.

Outlook and Outlook Express are NOT the same application. You do have the
latter installed, as you're running WinXP SP2.

Don't do anything to or with your Address Book.

*Close OE* then open your message store folder
(http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain):

1. What size are the files Inbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbx, Deleted Items.dbx, and
Folders.dbx?

2. Go up one level What size is the store folder itself?

I had a second thought immediately after I just sent you the above reply.
Do you think that it would do any good to delete my entire addressbook and
import it back?

Is MS Office and/or MS Outlook also installed?

I have had this now happen twice within the last few days with Outlook

I
get a message that says "Unable to choose recipients" and it will not

until this week.

Anyone know the cause and corrective action that I can initiate to
resolve
this issue?
