Yes, I have 2 more from hotmail also, they belong to another member of my
family, I also have another one from another server and that one works
well, it can be used to send without any problem. Only the hotmail ones
don't work.

I already tried rcreating a new identity using my account and still
couldn't send from that one.

I deleted the outbox.dbx again. I don't use Inbox or Sent folders to store
emails and I delete the deleted items folder several times a day.

Nothing works.
Thanks for your reply.

Do you have any mail accounts runnining in OE other than your Hotmail
account?

Move anything you want to keep out of Sent Items and into a new local
folder created for this purpose Close OE Find and delete both
Outbox.dbx and Sent Items.dbx in your identity's store
(http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

If still no joy, Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if
its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a
new Named Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming
all is well, import messages from the old Identity before deleting it
(File Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- 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 [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a
manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine
if Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

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

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.
