MICROSOFT OUTLOOK EXPRESS WHEN i FORDWARD A MESSAGE IT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE OUTBOX AND THEN SENDS 3 OR 4 OF THAT MESSAGES TO THE SAME PERSON

delete the old failed messages out of the outbox.. delete ALL messages from the OUTBOX.. if they have failed previously or are too big they might sit there, then every time you go to send a new one or hit send/recieve to get new ones, it will try to send them again.

good luck

DELETE IT FROM YOUR OUTBOX

Hi All

if you are running XP then open up explorer and go to

C:\Documents and Settings\*your user name*\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{65C0EAFC-BB65-4A91-A733-2B5FA75AFB49}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

then delete outbox.dbx (Make sure outlook express is closed)

then start Outlook Express and try to send an e-mail again.

:)

Delete outbox.dbx from the current location , the reason its not processing is because your outbox is corrupted ...

Hello
I havent seen that problem with Outlook Express just with Microsoft Outlook. but this solution should work with outlook express to.
here how you solv it. you need to remove the outbox file manually. remember that all your outbox files gonna be deleted.
step by step.
1.close outlook express
2. go to C:\Documents and Settings\"your user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\("alot of numbers here.->"{7850C6E6-099E-4EFD-A3F5-A88CA4FC6169}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\

* if you can find Local settings you need to show hidden files!
a. go to tools>folder options->view-> mark show hidden files and folders-> ok

3.in the map outlook express delete the outbox.dbx or move it somewhere.

4. try now to start the outlook express and the outbox should be empty.


good luck.

Empty the Outbox in Outlook Express, move any messages you want to Send later to the Drafts folder.

Close Outlook Express.
Do a Search for .dbx files.
Search:

• Start > Search > For Files or Folders > All files and folders,
  In the field for: all or part of the file name
  Key in:
  .dbx
  Below that, click on More advanced options
  in the field: Type of File, select (All Files and Folders)
  place a checkmark in:
• Search system folders
• Search hidden files and folders
• Search subfolders
  click Search

Locate the Outbox.dbx file and Sent Items.dbx file and delete it.
Restart Outlook Express, a new Outbox.dbx file will be created.
Send yourself a Test message to see if it leaves the Outbox.


You may need to enable Show Hidden Files and Folders to see the .dbx files.
Windows XP:

• Open My Computer,
  Tools > Folder Options > View tab,
  under Hidden Files and Folders, verify Show Hidden Files and Folders is selected.
  Remove the check mark for Hide Extensions for known file types.
  Apply, OK to save and close.

Here's the fix if when you send an email attachment from another application it gets stuck in the Outlook Outbox...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\MailSettings]
"StrictAccountOrder"=dword:00000001
Tooks us a long time to come up with it but great to have! It's fixed in Outlook 2007.

More than likely, you'll need to delete the outbox.dbx file located in the following location:

C:\Documents and Settings\***you user name***\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{***LONG SET OF NUMBERS}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

You will find the outbox.dbx in that directory.. Delete it, and you're good to go!
