Can't delete 'Local' folder error message in OE...

Ron

At the suggestion of "Byte" who replied to my earlier
question; re: "How to re-find a newsgroup question posted
here earlier", I will re-post it below; but first:

My _current_ Situation:
I DID find 2 'undelverable' e mails error messages when I
searched my 'LOCAL' e mail folder--as opposed to my general
Outbox that shows none(thanks for the advise guys)-- BUT I
can find no way of deleting them. Thus they resurface each
time I send out any e mails.
Here is a copy of one:

***The message could not be sent because one of the
recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail
address was --------'. Subject ------', Account:
'mail.optonline.net', Server: 'mail.optonline.net',
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.1.1 unknown or
illegal alias:-----, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server
Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79****

My "local Outbox" shows 2 items; my general "Outbox" shows
no items.
I deleted the e mails from my address book.

The message below has been appearing in my Outlook Express
(Wins XP, Home Ed.)for a month now every time I try to send
outgoing mail. I've deleted the undeliverable e mail
addresses, so how do I now get rid of the message itself?
Thanks, Ron

Ron,
Doesn't make much sense that your receiving an error
message after deleting
e-mail address. Is there still a message in your 'Outbox'?
check all your
Outboxes, 'Local', Hotmail and if you use Hotmail
integrated with your
Outlook Express delete the address from their Hotmail site.

Go into the Outbox and delete the message.

Close OE.

Go to Start/Search and type in: outbox.dbx
Right click, Delete. Note: These files are hidden by default.

The message is coming from the optonline.net SMTP (outgoing mail) server.
Are you connected to the 'net using optononline.net as your ISP when
attempting to send? Have you ever been able to send successfully from this
email account using OE?
