Using OE6 and when sending emails (NOT receiving) I have found that the sent
email is being sent again! My recipients are saying that they get my emails
twice! Anybody got a fix for this please?

Make sure antivirus software is not set to scan email. See
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 If it was remove your account, close and
reopen OE and then add it back again.

If that's not the problem then try deleting the outbox.dbx file (hidden).
OE will make a new one and that might fix it.

The Outbox is probably corrupt.
Go to Tools | Options | Maintenance and see where OE is storing its files.
Close OE.
Go there with Windows Explorer and delete Outbox.dbx. With Win2K and WinXP
it will be a hidden file.
OE will create a new one when you reopen it.

If you think the Outbox may have messages you want to recover, instead of
deleting it, move, not copy, it to an empty Windows folder and then use
DBXtract to recover the messages.
