suddenly OE 6 stopped saving sent mail in the sent items folder. I checked
the tools/options/send panel and ensured the save copy of sent messages to sent items folder was checked, then unchecked it, closed OE, restarted OE, then checked the save items in the sent items folder again, no change in behavior. |

Sent Items is corrupted.
Move any messages you wish to save out of Sent Items to a local folder you create. Then: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store 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 Start | Run | Ctrl+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 WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View. With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question {Sent Items.dbx} and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE. General precautions for Outlook Express: 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. 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. For more, see: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}. And backup often.

I moved all the email files to a separate folder, found a 2 gig file of Sent
Items.dbx. treid to open it, no luch, figured it should have freed up space in OE so I tested and sent another message, still not showing up OE Sent Items folder.

Don't try to open the moved Sent Items.dbx file.
Is Deleted Items.dbx also ~2GB? Have you compacted all folders? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) llrvlltv wrote: I moved all the email files to a separate folder, found a 2 gig file of Sent Items.dbx. treid to open it, no luch, figured it should have freed up space in OE so I tested and sent another message, still not showing up OE Sent Items folder.

If you have moved messages from Sent Items to a new folder you created, Then
delete Sent Items.dbx. Then compact your folders as I previously mentioned. And then, create more folders to store messages in and keep them around 100MB each. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "llrvlltv" wrote in message ...
