North Orange County Computer Club Q&A Question: I have Windows XP. I have been trying to remove an error message that comes up every time I open Outlook express to check my mail.

I tried to send an e-mail to someone whose e-mail address is no longer valid. It says that the message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. No. server error 550, Error No. 0x800CCC79. That’s fine, I understand that. She moved, but the window keeps popping up telling me that and I can’t get rid of it. Help, Help.

NOCCC: Without additional data this is a guess, but you should check the Outbox folder in Outlook Express to make sure it is empty. If it is not empty, either delete the message in the Outbox folder or move it to another folder.

This is a fairly common problem because Outlook Express keeps trying to send any messages that are in the Outbox and it does not delete them until they are successfully sent or manually deleted.
