Have you checked the settings for your SMTP server in Tools/Accounts - Mail
tab to be certain that they agree with what Rogers/Ontario instructed you
they should be? Or are you using Yahoo's program in cooperation with
Rogers?

When you deleted Outbox.dbx, was Outlook Express shut down? Did you delete
all copies of Outbox.dbx you could find?

Have you tried creating a "new" identity in Outlook Express and set up the
mail accounts in it? It's quite possible that your existing identity may be
corrupted, particularly if it is the default "Main Identity" created when
you first setup Outlook Express.

I turned off e-mail scanning in my anti-virus program, deleted Outbox.dbx,
checked the configuration in OE and still the messages don't go out.
There are no repeated identities [in fact, there is no other identity].
This
is frustrating.

I have to go to hotmail.com in order to send messages, and I can't even
attach pictures by using the right-click option "Send to" - "Mail
recipient".
It opens the hotmail new message window but it doesn't attach anything [I
have the beta version which doesn't have the "Attach Pictures" option].

Thanks in advance.
