I am having an error with outlook express. It sends multiple copies of emails that I have only sent once. Some people get the message 10-15 times if not more.

Sounds to me like you either have a huge .pst file outlook starts experience random and I do mean random issues when .pst files grow over 1 gig. In order to solve that simply break your pst files into several smaller ones that are under 1 gig and u should be fine. If that isn't your issue please post more about your problem like ver of windows networked env/non networked etc.

He means .dbx :)

Outlook 2002 and later use a .PST which Contains all folders (inbox,drafts.. etc)
2gb max per .PST If created in OL2002 or earlier
33TB Max per .PST if created in OL2003 or later

Outlook Express uses a .dbx file for each folder that is created
2GB Per .dbx
*I don't believe there is a folder limit

Hope that helps :)

So used to exchange servers and such I didn't think. However no matter what the max is keep them under 1 gig. Outlook acts VERY strange when they get larger than that.
