I find it hard to believe that your Outlook session corrupted the MTA. Outlook doesn't touch the MTA.

It resulted in a corrupt MTA and prevented me receiving email. I created another mailbox for myself and copied all my data over from the old one. That seemed to fix the problem as far as sending and receiving went, although I still had a number of event records expressing MTA errors. The error included my x400 address with a little squiggle at the end that looked like a 'double s' - one on top of the other. Also, because I created a new mailbox with a different name (and then renamed it) the 'directory' element stayed as the temporary name. I discovered throughout the day yesterday, that infact, any mail I sent didn't get delivered (external - internal OK). First thing this morning, I restored the "mtadata" folder from Monday night backup hoping this would solve the problem. Although it restored successfully, today I can't send email at all - it just sits in my outbox and nothing will shift it. Any ideas - it's freaking me out !!
