Email file corrupt?

L

Li'l ol' me

Yesterday I somehow managed to erase the boot sector from my HD and it took
a whole day to recover my partitions which were left fully intact. My
system had been in hibernation mode before that, but when I got back to the
windows desktop I found I was frozen out (even task manager wouldn't come
up) and I had no alternative but to reset.

Problem was, outlook express was open when I hibernated. When I reset, I
started outlook and all seemed fine. A couple of hours later though, I
started getting GPFs (or whatever XP calls them) when I tried to reply to
email, or double click one to view in a window.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling outlook, and have even tried
reinstalling XP over itself using the 'upgrade' option from the XP install
disk. But the problem persists.

I would guess it would stem from when I had to reboot windows with outlook
open (I had no choice), but that wouldn't explain why I was able to use
outlook with no problems earlier.

I have no problems receiving and reading emails, and these are added fine to
my existing folder. I just can't reply or even create a new mail. If you
see this, you know I can send new news posts OK!

I'm using XP SP1 and whatver version of OE comes with that.
