weird message in Outlook Express 5.0.6

[Patti Mollica]

I'm trying to forward an email to another address and i get this OE message:
"the action could not be completed, the disk is full"

I have 5 GB of unused space on my hard drive, so its not full. I deleted
email messages in case the mailbox is full, no help. the location i'm
sending to has 30 GB of unused space on the hard drive.

anyone got a clue?

thanks!

It doesn't really mean that the disk is full. It means that OE received some
kind of error while trying to save the file. You may want to run some tool
that checks for bad sectors or similar.

Maybe you're over-quota on your mailbox at the ISP's side?
