Hi,
Have seen this happen a few times. What you have to do is make sure that your
system is set up so that you can access hidden files. If this is not the case,
go to the folder options properties sheet which is in the tools menu of either
my computer or windows explorer. Generally, I use my computer for doing this
procedure. Press enter to acces it.
Once the properties sheet is up, press ctrl-tab and move the focus to the
view tab. Press the tab key 3 times which should place the focus on the tree
view. Arrow down to the show hidden and system files options and make sure
that window-eyes says on. If it says off, hit space to turn them on.
>From this point you can do a search for the following file inbox.dbx. DBX is
>the extension designated for outlook express folders. When it shows up in the
>file list delete it then reboot your system and restart outlook express. It
>will rebuild and restore the inbox automatically. Also be sure if the show

>to that setting. Hope this helps.

Subject: corrupted in box
Hi Folks:
Using outlook express, office 2003, and xp pro with win eyes 7.11
For some reason, my in box kits stuffed up. It works fine for awhile, then it
stops receiving email.
Then I have to go to the sever for the mail, in my case, cogeco.ca, delete all
the email, restart my computer and all is well again.
A suggestion was given that I could either delete the in box, or configure it
again, but, of course, I am lost as I don't know what is meant.
Any chance and individual may have to this corrupted in box. It is not a virus
or Trojan.
Please reply personally or if interest to the list, I guess it is ok
