For a corrupted Deleted Items folder:
- Close Outlook Express.
- OE5+: Locate the file Deleted Items.dbx in the mail directory and
delete it. You can use Start, Find (or Search), Files or Folders,
"Deleted Items.dbx" to find it. On Win2000 you need enable the display
of Hidden or System files in the folder options and XP you need to use
the advanced options to find Hidden or System files. (You can also
determine the location by looking in OE at Tools, Options, Maintenance,
Store Folder.)
- Open Outlook Express again. It will create a new empty Deleted Items.
