1a. Move any messages that you want to keep out of Sent Items and
Deleted
Items folders and into other local OE folders you've created for
archiving
(saving) such messages.

1b. Move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other local OE
folders, too.

1c. Move any unsent messages in Outbox folder to Drafts folder.

2a. Write down the location of your identity's store
(http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

2b. Enable 'Show Hidden Files and Folders' via Start | Control Panel |
Folder Options | View (cf.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...torial62.html).

3. Close OE.

4. In Windows Explorer, navigate to your store folder, find & delete the
files Outbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbx, and Deleted Items.dbx.

To avoid such problems in the future, adhere to the following caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not
attempt
to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic
Compacting is taking place.

- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional
protection:

the problem to clear.

What animosity? PS: I was replying to Bruce.

Bruce,

Finally, I was able to log onto my sister's machine last night
to investigate her multiple re-sends. It turns out she was
un-aware that she needed to periodically prune back her
"Sent Items" folder to the recent couple of weeks or so.
The dbx file had grown to over 2.1GB which, presumably,
prevented the send operation from completing normally.

I'm still puzzled, if not outright concerned, how it is that
your first post never showed up on my machine. If
Microsoft has shadow servers around the country, then
perhaps the Northern California server didn't get updated?
Can you think of a plausible explanation? I have noticed
of late that it can take sometimes more than 5 minutes
before my posts show up on my OE view of the server.

Thanks,
Bill

You're welcome. Although this NNTP is much better than the clunky Web
interface, it does have problems from time to time. That's about the best
answer I can give you.

In case this was missed, pass it on to your sister.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in the Inbox or Sent Items. Create your own user defined
folders and move the messages you wish to save to them. Empty Deleted Items
folder daily. Although dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2GB, I
recommend about a 300MB max for less chance of corruption.

Information about the maximum file size of the .dbx files that are used by
Outlook Express:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

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 had already passed on your "General precautions" about
maintaining OE. She told me her mind went blank right
after she read the term "dbx", at which point I concluded
I'd have to act as her proxy. Anyway, she now understands
how to prune back her Sent Items and the importance of
compacting, etc.

Thanks again,

What can cause an e-mail placed in
the Outbox with a normal Send
operation to remain there causing
