outbox.dbx

Im having this very same issue to a T http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=145804 ! Can somebody tell me where I can find the outbox.dbx? I have searched and searched, looked in the outlook folder and then did the actual search on my PC 3X and there is no such file. This problem started Monday. Thank you so much. Shana

I am also on XP, and outlook express 6. I have had my PC for two year with no problems.


If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated.

I am using outlook express for email basically i have attempted to send messages, these messages go into the outbox folder, i can then select send/receive I do this the messages do actually get sent, BUT an error message still appears informing that they weren't "some errors occured while processing the requested tasks, please review the list of errors below for more details" I do this and their is no list of errors but in the status section next to tasks it says warnings. These emails can not be moved into any folder and can not be deleted

"Some errors occured while processing the requested tasks. Please review the list of errors below for more details."

email usage is imperitive to my work so i must continualy send and receive mail each time i send it sends these same emails off and they do not budge from the outbox. the receivers have mentioned they have received the same email over and over

When I click on my outbox properties the folder appears to be here: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{BFDC0931-3B57-43CE-AD6F-7A4EC544DA95}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Outbox.dbx

However when I search for it, it is not listed, cannot find local settings file after owner...!

Here is what the problem was since nobody seems to have known the answer I will share it with you, so future solutions seekers will know...

There were 13,225 emails in my "sent" file, the email I had in my outgoing box kept sending itself because it couldnt move to the "sent" file. It simply wouldnt fit any longer. And since I had my email set to check and send every 1 minute, it was going over and over.

The problem then, after deleting all the emails in my sent file, (now email is sending properly) and now in turn fixing my outgoing problem...was in fact my "delete" feature, no matter how performed...stopped deleting, from any file. Well I had to think on this for a bit, then I realized all those emails that were in the sent file are NOW in my "delete" file. So I deleted all the files from my delete file as well and wallah, problem fixed, not a single email problem and I didnt need to ever delete my outgoing.dbx file, as many forums thought, as well, all the Techs I spoke to on the phone didnt have a soution and I could only get partial answers online, but puting two and two together got me the answers I needed.

Thumbs up!
