If you're sure that you deleted the proper Outbox.dbx, Sent Items is
probably corrupt.
Move any messages you want to keep out of Sent Items.
Go to Tools | Options | Maintenance and see where OE is storing its files.
Close OE.
Go there with Windows Explorer and move Sent Items.dbx to an empty Windows
folder. With Win2K and WinXP it will be a hidden file.

You can use One or these tools to extract the messages from the old DBX
file:

DBXtract ($5): http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/
DBXpress: ($25 but worth it)
http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx

The messages can be dragged from a Windows folder back into an OE folder in
OE's Folder List.

In the future do not use the default folders to store messages. Move them
to user created folders.
