I can't open or save attachments any more. When I try to save attachments I
get a message that says "Please check your free disk space". I did recently copy everything over to a larger hard drive via cloneing method. |

Do a little house cleaning.
Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible. 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: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed. In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}. Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Jon" wrote in message ...

Suspect your problem is related to the "cloning" software you used. It
probably just created a new drive of the same size as your earlier one and you've just run out of space. Try opening the drive in My Computer and seeing how much free space is available and let us know. -- Jim Pickering, MVP-Outlook Express/Windows Mail Please reply to newsgroup only.

The new hard has about 105GB remaining. The old drive was starting to fail.
Could ther be some corrupted files that transferred to the new drive? "Jim Pickering" wrote: Suspect your problem is related to the "cloning" software you used.

That's hard to tell. You can run scandisk or chkdsk on the drive (depending
on your OS) and follow that fixup with a Defrag and see if either or both of those help fix it. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...8-1171988A62D6 Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.
