Default OE6 Inbox empty but DBX file is over 1GB in size.

I have an inbox that does not display any messages but the inbox.dbx file is
2,097,129 KB.

I have created a new profile and tried importing the messages but same
thing. Sent items is only thing that displays any messages. Deleted items
and Outbox both empty as well but file sizes show something should be there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Craig

The OE DBX files have a design limit of 2 GB. You exceeded that and now
have a corrupted file that OE can't read.

Assuming that you don't have a recent backup, you may need to use the
following program to try and recover messages.
