I have copies of all of my emails automatically placed in

I received an error message saying it could not be done, and
that an error had occurred. I tried two more times. Same
result. Then I looked at the destination folder into which
I was trying to move that message, and there were 3 copies
of it there.

I have since sent other messages with the same result.

I cannot delete the messages in the "Sent Items" folder
either.

I'd appreciate any suggestions to fix this problem. If
unfixed I can still keep a full set of email files, but my
"Sent Items" folder will continue to grow.

Thanks.


When was the last time you compacted (File/Folder/Compact All Folders)?
If you haven't done it in awhile, go to File/Work Offline and then click
on Outlook Express on the top of the Folder tree and then compact them.
If you haven't done it in awhile, it may take some time but don't do
anything until it's done and don't even think about stopping it by
rebooting or turning off your machine.
