Outlook Outbox

XP Outllok is not deleting sent mail from outbox and won't let me delete them or move them to another folder. Has been working fine for a couple of years and just started this this morning. The only thing I have done was deleted temp internet files and cookies.

When I hit send/recieve I get an error msg and it don't dnld new mail, but it is sending the same messages in the outbox everytime I do snd/rec.

When I try to delete outbox messages I get error..."The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook." ...I have restarted my computer 2 or 3 times with no help...

Take a look at your pst file size. All versions before Outlook 2003 have a 2 gig limit on the file size. If it gets close, it'll do all sorts of wird stuff.

You need to use the archive fuction...Can tell it to archive mail older then X number of months...It will move them to a newly create pst file.....

Also, backup the pst file while you can...Run the compact function After you back up will help a little bit.
