When I send a message the email actually gets sent but an error message pops up stating warnings. I then have to go to my outbox and manually delete the message as it does not delete automatically now, otherwise it will keep getting sent when I click send receive. In the sent folder,I usually have the email stored that I have just sent but now it does not save it. I know the other day I got so frustrated with the pc running so slow that I did a ctrl alt delete and may have deleted something I shouldn't have done ..oops . sorry. Some help would be very much appreciated to get outlook back to normal. Thanks for your kind help and time here.
