I have emails that are stuck in my outbox that keep repeat sending. When I delete them, it deletes a copy but they stay in my outbox. The emails are getting to the persons I sent them to, as I have 2 tests ones that keep coming back to me. I've virus scanned my PC and my email through panda scan online which has checked my emails. I have updated my virus software and scanned outlook express but it finds nothing. Please any suggestions as I'm been pulling what little hair I have out all day.
 
Hi

Try this only if you have nothing in the Outbox that you want/need to keep:

In OE go to Tools>Options>Maintenance, then click on the 'Store Folder'
button. Make a note/write the path to the Store Folder and then navigate to
it in Windows Explorer. Close OE before you find the path in WE. Right
click on Outbox.dbx and then Delete. Next time you open OE a new Outbox
will be created.
