reply from jose
I had some what similer problem when i installed Office XP pro and the
microsoft outlook took control over outlook express and there was some real
problems to solve.
So,
Locate the address book file .wab in your system ( Do a serach with .wab
extention ) and then locate the file.
copy it to another location
un istall out look express using the office XP CD
Start out look express and then import the .wab file form where it is
stored.
also check the smtp settings once again.
There are a few good programmes which can repair the corrupted address
book files. Do a serach in google with "out look express recovery softwar "
and you get a few free / trial versions to fix teh problem.
Note: As i install and un install softwares, i keep a back up copy of the
address book file and also the .dbx files ( locate the files and copy them
manualy to my server). This is a good practice to avoid head aches
