When sending messages I receive the following 'error message': Some errors
occurrred while processing the requested tasks. Please review the list of
errors below for more details. The only error llisted is under the Task tab
and reads: Tasks Send one message(s) using 'pop.cox.west.net'
Status Warning
Connection Local Area Network
The message is actually delivered successfully however, it will reside in
the Outbox folder and continue to attempt to be sent to the recipient(s).
The attempts that follow are also delivered successfully but the message
never leaves the Outbox. Additionally the message never appears in the Sent
folder. Currently McAfee is installed as anti-virus, spam blocker, etc.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

McAfee is the problem. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Thank you Steve, and sorry for the late resonse. I should've mentioned I had
already done that. In fact, as far as email goes, Inbound, Outbound and
Wormstopper were all disabled. I am hoping you have some other suggestions.
Thanks again.

Do the following for the Outbox, and if the problem persists, repeat for
Sent Items after you move any messages you wish to save to a local folder
you create.

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 {Outbox.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}.
