Outlook Express crashes when attempting to compose new message in main identity

If that [Elmo's advice] fails, simply try creating a new identity!

*NB You should export your Mail / News settings from OE first and also your
Address Book entries then import them to the new identity before deleting
the old one.

crashes. This doesn't happen with any of the other identities. Don't
think I've ever encountered this before.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks


Try deleting Drafts.dbx from that account. It could be corrupted, and
should be recreated when needed.

Sorry , did not see your earlier post stating that " tried uninstalling and
reinstalling OE, still had the same problem" - if you did that and still
had problems creating new mail - then the problem definitely goes beyond
OE!
