Edited Outbox.dbx file
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.

Edited Outbox.dbx file
Make sure OE is closed and then go to the message store and delete all
Outbox files, old or new. When you open OE, a new Outbox will automatically be created. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Vfal" wrote in message ...

Edited Outbox.dbx file
You deleted the contents of Outbox folder or you deleted Outbox.dbx from
your store folder? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 Vfal wrote: 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.

Edited Outbox.dbx file
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. steve "Vfal" wrote in message ...
