Outlook Express 6 - Messages stuck in outbox

I have outlook express 6 setup to send/receive email through internet email account through the lan.

When sending emails out, outlook express reports that some errors occurred. However, when you look in the error dialogue box, it is blank. No error is displayed.

In addition to this, the outgoing message remains in the outbox instead of going to sent items. However, the intended recipient does receive the email. Not only this, the recipient gets another copy of the email every time outlook express send/receives as the message is still in the outbox.

I can manually remove the message from the outbox, but it will not go to sent items of it's own accord. I am really puzzled with this. Can anyone help please?
 
I would try renaming the outbox.dbx and see if that clears it.

Best regards, thelp
