The design limit of the DBX files is 2 GB, but OE files can get flakey
if they get over 100 MB.

You need to regularly do a File, Folder, Compact All. Since the Outbox
folder is normally "empty", that will keep the file sizes down.
Compacting recovers the wasted disk space from deleted messages.

As for the article mentioning OE5, OE version 5, 5.5, and 6 are largely
the same and problems/fixes that apply to one version generally apply to
them all. Microsoft often fails to update an article to reflect that
the same problem/fix still applies to newer versions.

This one may be worth checking. But it is stated that this kb article
applies to ie5 only...

This showed the right direction, but what probably caused such oe
behavior
was that outbox.dbx was close to 2G (2047,95MB) so oe couldn't write
anything to it (well, small messages were sent just fine). Thanks for
your
help.
