How do I correct "messaging interface encountered unknown error"?

Brian--
I get a pop-up that says "Messaging interface has returned an unknown error.
If the problem persists, restart Outlook." I've tried that. I've run
scanpst.exe. Nothing seems to help. I sure would like to get rid of the
clutter I've accumulated.

Well, one way to take care of it would be to create a new PST (if you're not
using Exchange), make it your delivery location, then move to that new PST
all the data you don't want to delete. Once the transfer is complete, close
the old pst.

Thanks! I'll give it a try. I'm not sure if I'm using Exchange or not -- I
guess I'm ignorant of some of the inner workings of these programs. I'll see
if I can figure out how to create the new PST file and import data and let
you know if I make any progress.

I created a new PST file and import my files, but I am still having trouble.
I have four messages in my outbox I can't delete. I am also getting a
messege that I have used up all my temp space in outlook and I need to delete
some file, but I can't delete anything.
