Try sending from this and if it works you can go back to your main Identity, close OE and create a new Outbox by going to Find/Files or folders and searching for outbox.dbx When you find it delete it and OE will create a new one when you restart it. It could also be a corrupted Sent Items folder and you can do the same by searching for sentitems.dbx and deleting it. Note as this creates a completely new sent items folder any messages in it will be lost. |

| 183703 | 2003-10-16 10:01:00 | I was having the same problem a couple of weeks ago with my Clear net account. Their help desk suggested deleting absolutely everything relating to Clear Net then reset from scratch. Couldn't find anything that was reset differently but I can now send & receive e mail without a problem. No answer as to why or how but wish you luck.
