A. Outlook Express stores the contents of each folder (e.g, Inbox, Outbox) in a separate file. To work around this problem, you need to delete the file that is associated with the Outlook Express Outbox. Perform the following steps:
- Close Outlook Express.
- Start Windows Explorer (Start, Run, Explorer or Win+E).
- Go to your profile area (e.g., C:\Documents and Settings\savillj\).
- Within your profile, go to the folder Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{[very long number]}\Microsoft\Outlook Express.
- Find file Outbox.dbx and delete it.
- Start Outlook Express (msimn.exe).
- The system will create a new Outbox.dbx, and the Outbox will be empty.
