Re: Outlook 2003 SP1 crash on receiving mail

Thanks for responding.

I could try to remove some messages, especially spam with something
like mail2web.com, but what I'm really after here is fixing the problem
not the symptom.

Do you think there is a particular message that causes Outlook to
behave this way? I don't think so, since as long as I don't try to
receive new mail, everything works fine. I can browse, sort, delete, do
anything i want to email. So I don't think anything about the .pst file
is corrupt.

I'm not sure how you mean the forwarding thing. The emails are stored
on a POP3 server, I can't just easily forward them. I could log onto
the account with some other utility and manually forward messages, but
I'm not sure what that would buy me. I have other means to access my
mail (I use mutt on a FreeBSD box as well), so I can read my mail and
receive it if I want, but I really want my expensive new copy of
Outlook to be able to handle my mail.

If you have any other ideas on what I could try I'm all ear. I'll try
and delete some of the spam, but it will take ages to make any
significant dent in the amount of mail.
