Forwarding Email from Inbox

[Sole Dog]

Recently, my Outlook 2007 started failing upon manually forwarding emails to
other contacts. The email forwards, but does not show sent; instead it
leaves the forwarded message in the outbox. This occurred after a power
flicker that my UPS did not protect. How do I fix this problem and maintain
my data?

With Outlook closed, locate and delete the (usually hidden) file
%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\yourprofilename.SRS and see if that changes
anything.

I'm somewhat concerned about deleting a file. Additionally, I can not find
the file. I even did a *.srs search and only found this: C:\Documents and
Settings\Steve S\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Do you think it would
work to just reload the software and overwrite the files without changing the
data files?

A little dumb luck, and I think I have the answer. I found that when I added
pictures to my contacts in groups on an Iphone that caused the problem. I
had to delete the contacts with pictures and add them back in manually and
then sync to the Iphone without pictures. Everything seems to be fine now.
I guess I need to report that to Apple. I wonder if anybody else has
experienced that problem?

There's nothing to be concerned about when deleting that file or I wouldn't
have suggested it.

Additionally, I can
not find the file. I even did a *.srs search and only found this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Steve S\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.

Then you found the file. That's exactly where I told you it would be.

Do you think it would work to just reload the software and overwrite
the files without changing the data files?

That's don't help. Reinstalling won't recreate that file.
