Windows Forum / Outlook Express / OE 5.x / March 2008"Sent Items" too large
Hi All........ I have AMD 1.2Ghz, 512MB RAM, IE5, OE5..........my Sent Items file got so large that it will not open. I can rename it and start a new one and Outlook Express continues to function, but what I want to know is there any way I can get that old sent Items file open so that I can retrieve some messages from it? TIA Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 If any DBX file gets over 2 GB OE can't access it. Even before that, the larger a DBX file gets the more prone to corruption it is. It's best to keep them under a few hundred MB. At this point you can try some recovery utilities.

At least I know that it's possible now.......thanks much.

She is running XP. When she sends there is a script error. And the mail never shows up in the outbox. As received the mail has the outline of the picture with that dreaded red 'x' in the upper corner. What can be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Tools | Options | Send Click HTML settings under Mail settings and make sure the option to send images with messages is checked. If that doesn't fix it please give us the complete error message. SignatureFrank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM www.fjsmjs.com Do not reply with email You mention that the message never shows up in her Outbox. If the message never made it there, you would never receive it. The Outbox is to temporarily store messages until they can be sent to the mail server. Once they are sent, the message is normally moved to the Saved Items folder. Perhaps this is her issue: Problem Inserting Image: Error 195, "undefined" is null or not an object Tools, Options, Security: switch OE from the Restricted Zone to the Internet Zone. Then insert the image or do the paste. You can then switch back to the Restricted Zone. Or you can edit the Restricted Zone custom level settings in to allow paste via a script (Internet Explorer: Tools, Internet Options, Security).
