for comparable problems.
I don't the link between this problem and not being able to receive anything, but that's another matter.
Note that if you delete any of the Standard OE folders (Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Delete Items) they will be recreated if you restart the program. So you can easily undo any corruption in any of those folders.
Hope this helps.

Can anybody help with an annoying problem. I attempted to send an email with a 4mb attachment and it's now 'stuck' in my Outbox. I can't delete it. This also means I can't receive email. It's been like this for 2 days. No errors. Just sits there.
Thanks in advance.
