It did not work. Other than replacing it with Windows Live email or
switching to Thunderbird or reinstalling OE (which I dread) I am out of ideas.

I have two existing identies, mine and my husband's. I rarely use my
identity since I use Thunderbird as my email client, so I tried to send under
my identity in OE. Same error message. I will try this possible solution
and I think if it doesn't work, I will just replace OE with Windows Live
emal. I will let you know the results as it may be of help to others

If Bruce's suggestion doesn't work, then go to File | Identities and setup a
new identity. Then when that works you can import from the old one.

My OS is Windows XP SP3
I did a bad thing and edited the Outbox.dbx and by edit I mean deleted
everything in there. Now I cannot send mail. I get a "The message could
not
be sent. An error occured." I have renamed it old, so it can rebuild, I
have tried to restore my Store folder from a saved version on a jump
drive.
Nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas? Do I have to reinstall
Outlook Express? I would rather not if possible.
