    I am working on a friends computer.
    Using Outlook Express 6
    I can receive all email with or with out attachments
    I can sen all email with out attachments
    When I try to send email with attachments I get an error.
    "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please review the list of errors below for more details. "
    Funny thing is, the list of errors below is blank, nada, nothing.

    After some testing I found that the mail is in fact getting sent but OE does not think it is sent. (i.e. not removed from outbox, gives blank error message, etc...)

    No. It does not matter what the size of the attachment is.
    No. There is no firewall in the mix.
    No. There is no router.
    It is a cable connection, not DSL.
    Yes, I have called the ISP. They claim its not them.
    The problem is just affecting OE, nothing else.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Delete your SentItems.dbx file. Note that when you find it, it's probably close to 2GB in size.

    Note that if tou delete the SentItems.dbx file you will loose all of your sent mail. You might want to move the important ones to another folder first. BUT....

    Is the mail stuck in the OutBox?

    If so, delete the file called OutBox.dbx which is located:

    C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{E5C4B58E-0072-4A0E-BA21-DD32793F2322}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

    I went ahead and preformed both
    But I'm pretty sure that it was the sentitems.dbx that was causing the problem.
