[Ham-Computers] Outlook Express Problem

[Herb Gerhardt]

Ed,

Thanks for your procedure.  I followed it and backed up all of his Outlook Express files.  But that was just the small part, your info gave me the location of where all the Outlook Express files were kept so while I was in that folder, I deleted the Outbox and restarted the program.  All is now well again, the program generated a new Outbox but it no longer contained the "bad" file and Mel is now again able to receive and send messages.

So, by just deleting the Outbox folder, the problem was fixed.  His Outlook Express is well again and my friend Mel thanks you for your input.

Thanks again,
