Hi moe103,

If everything else fails you could try creating a new (empty) Inbox.

First move any messages you want to save to a new folder for temporary
storage. I'm not sure how many messages are now in the Inbox, but it should
not be used for long term storage or be allowed to become too full.

Find the message store folder
Close Outlook Express
Delete the Inbox.dbx file

Open the Store Folder



Instead of using search the store folder can be opened directly. Each
identity has its own store folder.



a.. In Outlook Express click on Tools, Options, Maintenance tab...Store
Folder.
b.. Place the cursor at the left of the text of the path to the folder.
c.. Drag the cursor to the right until the text scrolls to the end.
d.. Right-click on the text and choose Copy.
e.. In the Start, Run box right-click Paste. Click OK to open the store
folder.
f.. Close Outlook Express before working with the message store files.

An even easier method when opening that page is to use the Tab to
highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C and close OE, then use Start/Run
and Ctrl+V. Same caveat about hidden files applies but can be easily
modified in Explorer by using Tools/Folder Options.
