Hello,

Outbox.dbx may be corrupt - transfer your messages in
outbox to another folder as the next step will reset your
outbox folder.

Go to your message store folder (Tools > Options > Maintenance > Store
Folder).

Close Outlook Express and delete outbox.dbx ('outbox' if you do not have
file extensions to show) in the Store folder using My Computer/Explorer.
Restart Outlook Express and a new Outbox.dbx should be recreated
automatically and you should be able to send mails properly

That post was the result of my earlier boredom.

I'm fine now
