newbie said:
I could regularly post to newsgroup aieo.cjb.net.
From today whenever I am trying to post I get the following message.
Outlook Express could not post your message. Subject 'Help Please',
Account: 'aioe.cjb.net', Server: 'aioe.cjb.net', Protocol: NNTP, Server
Response: '441 Duplicate message (MD5)', Port: 119, Secure(SSL): No,
Server
Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9
Can somebody help me please.
Thanks.
"Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9"
This can be caused by a damaged Outbox.
Tools>Options>Maintenance>Store folder will reveal the location
of your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the
folder location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start>Run>Ctrl+V will put
the location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files.
Otherwise, write the location down and navigate to it in Windows
Explorer.
In WindowsXP & 2K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start>Control Panel>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.
Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually
become corrupted. Create your own user defined folders for storing
mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly.
After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually
while working *offline* and do it often.
Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders
are open. Then: File>Work Offline (or double click Working Online in
the Status Bar).
File>Folder>Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the
compacting is completed.
In Tools>Options>Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background
and leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.
