Re: Outlook Express won't forward

Try deleting the Outbox & Sent Items as previously discussed. After that, I may be out of ideas.

Bruce, I just turned AVG e-mail scanning back on & rebooted. Email is
working fine now. Guess I will have to uninstall AVG then reinstall to get
rid of e-mail scanning..
More concerned about the forwarding. Main priority.

The first thing that I decided to do is to disable the e-mail scanning in
AVG. Having done that, I checked to see if I had any mail. Guess what, I am
getting a nice little message and can't get any mail. I copied what it said
and will paste here. Now what?
