Re: Error Message Outlook Express

Thanks Michael

Have tried what you suggested. Unfortunately I still have the same problem.

Thank you Bruce but this did not fix my problem.

Who is your ISP? Let's say, for example, it is Bellsouth.com.

In IE: Go to Tools | Internet Options | Privacy | Sites or Edit Type
in:

bellsouth.com

Click: Allow (cookies).

See if this helps.

Everytime I send an email this error message pops up in Outlook

"One or more messages in your outbox do not have a valid account
specified. Would you like to use your default account to send

When I select YES, the message is then sent.

I have contacted my internet service provider and checked my
accounts
and
the default account and everything is correct. We have actually
reset
the default account to no avail. They suggest an Outlook Express
Software problem.

I do not wish to reinstall the software as I would probably lose
everything.

Can anyone please help me.

Courtesy of PA Bear -

Outbox.dbx is probably damaged.

Tools > Options > Maintenance > Store folder will reveal the
location of
your current Identity's store
(http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain). Write it
down.

In WindowsXP, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as
hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show
Hidden
Files
and Folders under Start > Control Panel > Folder Options > View.

Close OE.

In Windows Explorer, navigate to your store, find and delete
Outbox.dbx.

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to
local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently
perform a
manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your
machine
if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also
cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
