Hi there,

When I try to send an e-mail using outlook express it comes up with an error
has occured. please run check disk. I have run the check disk and it still
comes up with the same error.

Thanks in advance.
 
General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

You may have a "damaged" Outlook Express folder system. Usually by
"moving/deleting" folder.dbx file in your OE store directory, you can
"salvage" your emails. I would "copy" the folders to a "different" directory.
