 Outlook - Hacko
Suddenly my PC won't allow me to forward emails received in Outlook. When I try they sit for hours in Outbox, and are very difficult to delete - I managed to get rid eventually. All other functions within Outlook are normal, as far as I can tell. Any suggestions, please?

thanks

Is it just forwarding emails? Can you send new ones okay?
 Outlook - Hacko
yup, no probs with creating new ones or replying to messages

Does it eventually throw up any error messages?

I found this via a google, btw

in tools/options/email options/close original message on reply or forward:- uncheck box
 Outlook - Hacko
checked and that box is unticked, Vx. Re Error messages, I get them quite often, even when there in no apparent prob, saying "cannot connect to server..."

Is there a repair option if you try to uninstall Outlook via "add or remove programs" in control panel?

Do you know if you're using POP or IMAP?

Either way a simple way of solving issues like this is to backup your PST file, then remove all the email profiles from control panel and then start from scratch with a new PST. Then simply import all your old PSTs into the new one.

I often find that fixes these silly niggles you get with Outlook.

Also what version is you're using? Is it all up to date with the latest services packs etc?
