Message from Outlook Express 6 sent does not close

All of a sudden, when I compose or reply to a message and then click on send, the message remains on the screen, as if it has not been sent.  When I open the sent items folder, the message was sent.

Any ideas what is the cause?

It could be due to corruption, or it could be due to antivirus software.  For the first time, you can go to file | Identities and set up a new identity and then, once that is working very well, go to file | Import | Messages and import them from the old identity.  For the potential problem of the antivirus, see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 and you can also configure a new identity in this case, once you have disabled any features e-mail scanning.

  • A strange thing happens when I try to send a message from Outlook Express

    Whenever I try to send a message from Outlook Express to my Yahoo email account, the dialog box will move immediately to the status bar.  Is not that bad, but it seems too far on the right side of the screen, and I right-click on the status bar to maximize.  Any ideas on why this is happening?

    Can click you the title bar when it is on the right side and then move it to the left (try also the arrows).  If you can move it and then close it, then it should open in the center of the next time.

    I can't send messages.  I have Outlook Express 6.  I can receive.  When I send it crashes, there is no error message, if I move the box (click and drag the blue banner) is like a ventilated on card game.  No way to process, I need Ctrl alt dlt on Outlook.  I have Service Pack 3.  The "sent" box is empty.  I have Comcast, I have called them and went throgh their Checklist (incoming & out of the server settings will and everything is correct.)

    Thanks, I'm back in business.  In addition to what you show in "General Precautions for Outlook Express" to understand why this happened.  I got a lot in the deleted items folder.

    Once again, thank you.  I really appreciate your time.

    You're welcome and thanks for posting back.

    The default main identity can become corrupted very easy because there a few registry keys more than user created files that work very well.

    The dbx file system is very fragile and also prone to corruption. By creating new identities, each single dbx file is new. Which have been the cause of the problem could have been determined by their replacement one at a time, bur which would have been a lot more time and a new identity is deeper.

    If you comply with security measures, you are much less likely to have this kind of problem in the future.
