Default Restoring trashed Inbox

Hello --

I am a computer technician with a client whose Inbox has become bloated
with over two years' worth of E-mail (over 300MB), and now when she
opens OE6, only about a dozen messages from the past few days will
display. After unsuccessful attempts to import the .DBX file into other
E-mail apps, including Thunderbird and The Bat, I have concluded that
her Inbox.dbx is trashed.

I've been reading posts on this group about programs that extract
E-mails from corrupted .DBX files, but the ones I've tried will only
extract the E-mails to individual text files. Is there a utility that
would allow me to actually rebuild the .DBX file so that she can see her
E-mails in OE again? (After this I would advise her to archive her old
E-mails to several separate, compressed OE folders.)

Thanks in advance,

Dave
