Hello,
I have a computer (portable) with XP Home edition, including SP2 and
all the other Windows updates. I have a wireless broadband connection
(Telenet - Belgium) and the device for sending wireless (my router) is
a D-Link router.


I use outlook express (version 6) with 2 identities. But every time I
want to forward the second mail, the program doesn't respond anymore.
Everything freezes (in Outlouk Express) so I have to press
Ctrl-Alt-Delete and shut down outlook. When I look after the restart of

outlook in my sent-items, the e-mail was send.


Anyone who knows what 's happening and how to fix? Thanks in advance
for your help!

Does it happen in both identities?

Do this for the Outbox, and repeat for Sent Items (after you move any mail
you wish to save) if the problem persists.

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 WindowsXP, 2K & 3K, 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 Start | Control Panel | 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.

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}.
