I use Outlook Express 6 for email with my Windows ME operating system. I have
one email account through Bellsouth with two email addresses. Recently I have experienced a problem when trying to open one of the email addresses. I get an error message that reads "Msimn has caused an error in DIRECTDB.DLL. Msimn will now close." I have no problem opening the other email address or reading my messages from it. Anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is and how I might fix it? |

From:
http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/directdb.htm Errors in DIRECTDB.DLL or MSOE.DLL generally indicate corruption in the message store. Start by moving Folders.dbx to an empty Windows folder. You will lose your folder hierarchy and the lists of newsgroups on the news servers, but it might get you into OE. Note: The DBX file are hidden files in Win2K, WinXP and Win2K03. If that doesn't do it then move all of the DBX files to the same folder as Folders.dbx. You should now get into OE. Try importing the messages from the folder you moved the DBX files to. If you can't, you can use one of these tools to extract the messages: DBXtract: http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx DBXpress: {much faster for large files} http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx Note: It can take a long time (days with really large folders). The messages can then be dragged from the Windows folder back into a folder in an open instance of OE. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "New OldTimer" New wrote in message ...
