Hi, Thanks again, it worked! These newsgroups are fantastic. It's great
to
have someone to help out with these problems. Saves me calling my son all
the time.

Delete Deleted Items.dbx the same way, with OE closed, and try it. There
are other possible fixes, but I want to start with the easiest first.
Reboot after every change.

FileWork Offline & ViewLayout - Uncheck the Preview Pane. See if you
can delete it now.

Was OE closed when you deleted the Outbox.dbx file? Won't help if it
wasn't.

ToolsOptionsMaintenanceStore folder will reveal the location of
your
Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then StartRunCtrl+V will put the
location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise,
write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In WindowsXP & 2K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked
as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show
Hidden
Files and Folders under StartControl PanelFolder OptionsView.

With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question
{Outbox.dbx} and delete it. A new one will be created automatically
when you open OE and the problem message will be gone.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually
while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders
are
open. Then: FileWork Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). FileFolderCompact all folders. Don't touch anything
until
the compacting is completed.

Hi, I have a message in my outbox that is stopping all mail, send and
receive, from working. I have tried to delete it many times, in safe
mode also, and it just gives me the message that the program is not
responding. My outbox had 7 messages in but when it gets to 5 it
freezes and does not respond. How do I get rid of this message? It
is
one that I am forwarding and the original is OK, checked for viruses,
and a WMA attachment. I have also tried deleting the whole outbox
folder, with no success. Hope I can send this! Thanks
