    After sending messages, they remain in the Outbox and do not show as Sent. I have to delete them so they don't get sent again. How do I fix this?

    briandtownsend -= Welcome to the Board :)

    Sounds like your Outbox is corrupted .....

    Close OE and search for *.dbx - include in the search Hidden files and folders.

    Locate Outbox.dbx and delete it.

    Open OE - Outbox will be recreated - test.

    Are you sure they are even being sent? If they are then you do have a DBX issue.

    If not I would go to Tools options maintenance and click Cleanup.

    If these are specific emails and others do go then you have a bad email address.

    If all hang in Outbox (and you can still recieve) then you may have an SMTP (outgoing) error in your account.

    Otherwise as PeteC said.
