I'm unable to send and receive with error number 0x800c0133 being
displayed and my inbox is now empty. I've gone to Option / Maintenance /
Store Folder and then to -

C:\Documents and Settings\XP\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{ a bunch of numbers }\Microsoft\Outlook Express.

My inbox is showing 2.1gb in it, so I guess to much data in the inbox is
my problem. I think I know how to delete it and create a new inbox and
hopefully that should fix it. But what I would love to know, is it
possible to save some or all of these lost emails. I was actually in the
process of transferring many of my email to sub folder, but this problem
caught me before I could get the size of my inbox down. Is it possible to
save these lost emails?

I have been thinking of using outlook instead of outlook express. Will
transferring all my email to that fix this problem? Does outlook have a
similar problem when it's inbox gets to full. It would have been nice if
it gave you a warning before just killing you inbox.

dbxpress is about the only hope you have

it can scan the hard drive for the old messages. You will have to remember
as the computer writes to the hard drive, old messages can be deleted.


2 gigabytes is the limit and anything over that causes major corruption of
the message stores.

Outlook 2003 can have over 2 gigabytes. Earlier versions couldn't.
