Andy,
If corrupted, do a computer search for .dbx folders. This should show all of
the .dbx folders, such as the in box, out box and sent folder.
Note: the folders, in box, out box, and sent items folder should be emptied
before deleting them.
Then all you do is delete the folders, personally I deleted all 3 the time my
OE went funny. When you restart OE, it recreates them, and usually sorts it out.
There was a previous post about checking if hidden, good advice to check this
out first.
When my OE was corrupt, it also sent multiple messages to people, as the
message never left the out box.
Hopefully some of the suggestions gets your friend sorted.
Kind regards,
Mike

Hi Mike - As far as I know, his messages are getting sent, just not getting a
copy saved in the sent folder. If it is corrupted, is there a way to fix it? -

Andy,
OE can corrupt with regard to the sent folder. Is there any messages in it,
or maybe just 10 for example, as this what happens when corrupted.
The messages do not leave the out box, as it thinks the sent folder is
full, causing a back log, so to speak.
Try sending a message to yourself, and see if it remains in the out box, or
goes to the deleted folder.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Ibrahim - Thanks, but as I said in my message, that box is already
ticked, that's why we're confused.
Regards -

Hi Andy.
In Outlook Express, go to tools, options and then in the sent tab
select "save copy of sent message in sent messages folder".
All the best, Ibrahim.

A friend is using OE and XP. Each time he sends an email, he doesn't
get a copy saved in his sent messages folder, even though the box is ticked
under options to do this. Anybody know why this might be?
Thanks -
Andy
