I have done a system restore, and an XP repair along with talking to my
internet provider, and I can't get my mail delivered.
It will scan, and start sending, and gets about 58% completed, then shows
the error.
Can anyone help please, thanks.

Move any mail you wish to save to a local folder you create. Then delete the
problem Inbox as follows.
Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in
Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run.
In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows 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 {Inbox.dbx} and
delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE.
General precautions for Outlook Express:
Do not archive mail in the Inbox or Sent Items. Create your own user defined
folders and move the messages you wish to save to them. Empty Deleted Items
folder daily. Although dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2GB, I
recommend about a 300MB max for less chance of corruption.
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.
Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

Can you please walk me through the steps as to how to move mail to be
saved
to a local folder I would create?
You also note for future use to not archive mail in the Inbox. Rather, you
advise to create your own user defined folders and move the messages you
wish
to save to them. Can you please give me the steps on how to do this?
Thanks again for all of your posts and information on this topic.
