Default Attachments won't open

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.

Right click on your desktop IE icon/Properties/Delete files/tick delete
off line files. Try again.

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.

Reboot. Empty the two temps files, the one under your profile and the
one in Windows.

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.
