Inbox dbx problem
Hi
"JR Mack" wrote in message ... I recently had a computer reformatted. I copied all of the files from the Store Folder and pasted them back after the computer was reformatted. All of the files were then accessible except the Inbox.dbx. It is a 170mb (the user did not delete may of his messages) file and I can't figure out how to get to these messages. I have tried creating a file - accessing the file -- deleting the file -- and then renaming the the inbox file to match the deleted file. This did not work. Is there a way of determining if this file is corrupt and fixing it? As I mentioned there were several files that were fine. It was just the Inbox.dbx.

Inbox dbx problem
See Bruce's reply.
You do not copy/paste DBX files into the message store, you import them. Importing OE Data (all DBX files, including Folders.dbx) http://www.insideoe.com/faqs/how.htm#importOE5 Importing a single DBX file http://www.insideoe.com/faqs/how.htm#importdbx http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1 Also note that if there was one byte of corruption in that Inbox.dbx file, it would render the whole thing useless.
