Problems with OE6

Outlook Express 6

I decided to send some old e-mails to another machine, so I highlighted the entire inbox and sent them, but the mail is stuck in the outbox and keeps crashing OE, but I cut off its ablity to use the internet but it still crashes when I try yo delete the e-mail, is there a way of getting rid of the e-mail without reinstalling OE and losing all the other e-mails I need.

Thanks in advance

How to delete inbox/outbox files

NB: Email program has to be closed.

1) Click on Start/Find/Files or Folders
2) Ensure you have c:\ selected in 'Look in'
3) Type in outbox.idx and click 'find now'
4) Ensure you can see the correct file by checking in 'in folder' so you can see if it's an outlook express or internet mail file etc
5) Right click on the file and select delete.
6) Change the search to look for outbox.mbx and click 'find now'
7) Repeat steps 4 and 5
8) Restart the PC

The same procedure applies to inbox.mbx and inbox.idx
