All, I have a computer that can not send e-mail via dial- up (but can on LAN). The Outlook Express can receive mail either way, but will only send mail on the LAN. The error message is: The message could not be opened from out Outbox folder.

get the following error during compacting: file is currentlyin use by OE or another application.Abe Bruce Hagen 2007-07-25 21:10:42 UTC PermalinkRaw Message If the following does not fix the error message, post the error in itsentirety. It is most likely a damaged Outbox.Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location ofyour Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folderlocation, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put thelocation in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, writethe location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by defaultmarked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enableShow Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder OptionsIcon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question {Outbox.dbx}and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE.General precautions for Outlook Express:Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually becomecorrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move yourmail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user createdfolders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually whileworking *offline* and do it often.Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders areopen. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in theStatus Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything untilthe compacting is completed.Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layerof protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such astime-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program willcontinue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3As far as your compacting problem, it may now be fixed. Restart the machineand try to compact the first thing. If it does not work, grab the blue stripof the dialog bo
