Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server. Temporarily uncheck in Tools | Options | General: Send And Receive At Startup and Check for messages every XX minutes. Close OE and delete the Pop3uidl.dbx file. Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server. Then delete the Pop3uidl.dbx file. You will get the messages one more time, but that should be it. 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 Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View. With OE closed, find the Pop3uidl.dbx and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE. Can you move messages now? If yes, continue by doing the following. Move any messages you want to save out of Deleted Items, Sent Items and the Inbox to folders that you create and then close OE and delete the dbx files for these three folders in the same location you deleted the Pop3uidl.dbx file. With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx, Sent Items.dbx and Inbox.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE. Compact all folders as described below. To help prevent this in the future: 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. Information about the maximum file size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=903095 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: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 Bruce Hagen ~ MS-MVP [Mail]
