hello,
I have a problem with Outlook Express. I use it with my gmail account and it was working fine until few days ago. it started sending the mails but keeping them in outbox. no matter how many times I send them, they are still in outbox. please help.

when double click a message is not open

it show corrupted file please reinstall

All of a sudden I have some type of corruption in my Outlook Express folders. I cannot delete files from the inbox to deleted - once I get them in deleted there seems to be no problem, but I cannot get them into deleted. Doesnt' make any difference what type eml - some contain attached files, some do not... most do... but I cannot delete them - period. I tried to 'move' them from the in-box to the deleted folder... would not move. I do have one eml in the folder that I believe started the entire problem - and if I even click on it, Outlook Express locks and I have to exit... but soon my mail folder will be so full I won't be able to receive more.
Any suggestions?
