I can't save a copy in my sent folder anymore Outlook express.

Hi .

For some strange reason I can't save a copy of my sent mail in my sent folder and this even if, in my account option , the window where it says " save copy of sent messages in the 'sent item' folder is checked.

I unchecked it and reboot, then checked the option again , but no change.

Everything else seems to be working just right.

why would that be and how can I fix this please?
I"m using Outlook Express...

TIA

With OE closed, use windows search (include hidden files) to find "sent items.dbx". Delete this file. It will be recreated the next time that you open OE.

Thank you very much for this . it worked like a charm

Thanks for pointing out I had to look in a hidden files folder

backing up this file before deleting it could be a very good idea for some...Not in my case anyway... but I can't bring it back for the recycle bin ....?

Best regards
