You're welcome. Clean up and compact *all* folders on a regular basis. Glad
it's fixed.

I had done everything as suggested. I had tried repeatedly to delete the
"Sent Items.dbx" file and it would not delete.
However, I tried again to delete the "Sent Items.dbx" file and it did
delete
this time. Everything fell in place after that and Emails are nowsending
and
moving to the 'Sent Items" box.
It appears that I should have been cleaning up my "Sent Items" on a
regular
basis.

Thanks to all for your help!!!!!!

Did you delete the Outbox.dbx file as I have suggested, and then compact?
If
you still have a problem, delete Sent Items.dbx as Ron suggested. Move
any
messages you wish to save first.

Note that the file size will not be reduced until you compact, which you
should be able to do after deleting the dbx files.

First, thanks to all that have offered help. Sorry I haven't responded
earlier but I was away for the weeked.

I've tried to compact the Outbox folder as suggested but get the
following
Error message when the 'Sent Items' starts to get compacted:

The folder 'Sent Items' could not be cleaned up. There is not enough
disk
space. (File:Sent Items.dbx, Error;0x800013C)

I've then deleted the entire contents of the "Sent Items" folder and it
appears empty. However in the folder that displays the Outlook Express
files, the 'Sent Items.dbx" file is listed as 2,097,097 KB in size.
I've tried to delete this .dbx file but it would not delete. I still
get
the
same error message as indicated above.

I also disabled the outgoing Email AV scan, but I'm still getting the
error
and outgoing Email send nbut remain in the Outbox.

Any further suggestions? Thanks in advance.

When sending messages I get an Error box that pops up but the box
contains
no information. The message does "send" but it stays in the outbox and
does
not go to the "Sent" folder. I have to remove the sent meswsage from
the
Outbox or it will re-send the next time i send a new message. What
might
be
causing this???
