Hi there and thanks for the help.

I have spent the last month plus trying to get emails out of the out box that kept sending themselves.

I thought I had emptied the Sent box before because it showed as being empty, but after your suggestion I went back to Sent and clicked on compact. It took about 2 minutes to compact in spite of showing empty. I have tried two emails since and they both went into Sent. This seems to have solved it after many tries and checking Microsoft's site and elsewhere for an answer.

I guess what you are saying is to find the Sent file and delete. Microsoft just suggests deleting the out box. You would think they would have this figured out by now or at least show a reasonable link indicating what the answer is if they know of this particular problem.

All the best,

Greg

AdviceOutlook Express Troubles

Yesterday I opened my OE and was amazed,because of some of my emails were lost no one knew how. I entered the Google and observed there a lot of tools,but no one of its couldn't help me. Luckily for me unexpectedly my friend called me up and advised - problems outlook express. To my great surprise the software solved my problem for a minute and without payment as I bore in mind. It helped my friend quite rapidly and he thanked me a lot.

My thanks to the person who posted this repair of the Sent Items mailbox problem. The recommended repair instructions were laid out very well and worked exactly as described. Thanks again!

Outlook Express Troubles

Most likely you have run into the problem where your Sent Box file on the hard drive exceeds 2GB in size. Microsoft did not feel it was important to provide an error message when the file gets too large, instead displaying a blank error.

1) Tools > Options > Maintenance > Store Folder

2) Copy the address

3) Right-click Start button > Explore

4) View > Toolbars > Address bar (if it is not already showing)

5) Paste into the address bar and press Enter

6) Sort by Size column

If any of your mailboxes are over 2GB in size, Microsoft Outlook Express will break when trying to use them.

To fix the issue:

7) In Outlook create new folders to store your sent e-mail, for instance by date "Sent - Summer 2008".

8) Move messages from your Sent box to the new folders you have created.

9) Once your Sent box is empty, go back to look at all of your Outlook Express mailbox files (see steps 1 through 6 above).

10) If your Sent box is now very tiny, then you are done. Otherwise if your Sent box still shows up at 2GB, then you have experienced another Microsoft bug, continue with the steps below.

11) Quit Outlook Express.

12) Erase the Sent box file that should be empty, but is 2GB in size.

13) Reload Outlook Express, it should create a new Sent box automatically.

Hope this helps some people ... And shame on Microsoft for releasing such shoddy programs.
