OLEXP: Err Msg: Message Could Not Be Opened from Outbox Folder
(a *very* infrequent error; should apply to all OE * Windows versions) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=175327 Close OE. In Windows Explorer, search for (WinKey+F) Outbox.dbx and delete the one located in the identity's store (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=175327). In WindowsXP, 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 StartControl PanelFolder OptionsView. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE), AH-VSOP Are You Ready for WinXP SP2? http://support.microsoft.com/default...r=windowsxpsp2 What You Should Know About Spyware http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...ssoftware.mspx AumHa Forums http://forum.aumha.org Jerry wrote: The message could not be opened from out Outbox folder.

This behavior can occur if you have two identical accounts with
different names or the Outbox.dbx file is corrupted. If there is a message stuck in there that you need try removing it with the preview pane off and working offline. The instructions below will create a new Outbox and delete any mail in the current one. ToolsOptionsMaintenanceStore 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 StartRunCtrl+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, 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 StartControl PanelFolder OptionsView. 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 on default OE folders. They will eventually become corrupted. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while working *offline* and do it often. FileWork Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). FileFolderCompact all folders. In ToolsOptionsMaintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}. -- Bruce Hagen ~IB-CA~ "Jerry" wrote in message ...
