Email set on Internet Zone.

Can do, but get message 'Error in saving attachments. Check free disk space and retry'. ( Attachment is only 152KB. Avail Physical Memory is 211MB).

Made no changes to computer. Have not installed any new security programs . MS Updates are on Automatic - including auto updates of Beta Windows Defender.

454234 2006-05-15 20:32:00 In the third pic drcspy posted, there is a tick box near the bottom with....

"Remove attachments".

That isnt ticked is it?

454235 2006-05-15 22:26:00 If Nyuuji's suggestion doesn't apply then I'm stumped with this one . It is possible that an update has stuffed things up or maybe OE has corrupted itself somehow .

You could move all emails from the Inbox to a temporary folder in OE then do a search for Inbox . dbx in Explorer and delete it .

Or do a search for "Repair Outlook Express" on Google and see whether that helps .

Personally I would dump OE and switch to another email client . I use Eudora which is far more superior but Thunderbird is a popular alternative .
