outlook express sending duplicate email

When sending email I get an uncoded error but the email goes thru as normal. However it resides in the outbox after being sent and continues to send itself repeatedly until I delete it from the outbox. Any ideas?

 

PeteC, thanks. Deleting the "sent items" box did the trick. Previously I had deleted all "sent items" entries thinking something was corrupt. The problem was in the "sent items" file itself. Per your suggestion I deleted the .dbx file for sent items, restarted and it worked.
I thank you and all who receive dozens of duplicate email from me thankyou.

 

Same problem-Which Folder?

Pete
I've got a customer with the same problem.
Are ypu saying to deletes the "Sent" and "Outgoing" .dbx folders that are located where OE stores its folders?

Thanks, Pete
That one had a lot of people baffled.
The problem gives you the indications of malware.
I had done everything in my bag of tricks from Hijackthis to "Combofix ".
I did the "Sent.." first, didn't work, than deleted the Outgoing.
You saved me from a format and reinstall, usually my last option.

BTW, my last name is Crane and I believe we originated somewhere outside London.

Thanks, again,
