Sorry ift this is the wrong newsgroup but I can't find one for OE

Using IE6,OE6 on XPPro with SP3.

I'm having difficulty sending email from a new laptop which I'm working
on,but my question here is that the window that's supposed to show the error
message is blank. Is there a fix for this?

Any other info needed?

TIA

Maggie

[Added crosspost to OE General newsgroup]

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main
Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity...

File | Identities | Add new identity

Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2)
import messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3) delete
the old one (File | Identities | Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in future:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.

- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection:

Compacting did the trick on the sending issue, thanks.

Any idea on what's causing the error message window to be blank?

Are you still getting any error messages, blank or otherwise, in OE?

Have you tried a new identity yet?
