Default Corrupt Identity

I have a number of identities but one has become corrupt and I have lost the
shared contact list and slowly losing the folders.

I have backed up OE and after a re-install of XP Pro (SP2) I had hoped that
this problem would have been resolved, but not so. It seems that the backup
has backed up what was corrupt

How can I repair that identity and salvage what folders are left?

Regards - Roger M

To restore messages to OE you must copy the DBX files, including
Folders.dbx, to an empty Windows folder on your hard drive and then remove
the Read Only attribute. Then use OE's File | Import.
