Unhappy Outlook Express Error when opening/receiving mail

It seems since a few MS updates ago to my IE I'm have problems with my OE and it opening and receiving mail.

The message I keep getting is Folder could not be displayed;

Outlook Express could not open this folder.
-----------------------------------------------
Possible causes are:
Low disk space.
Low memory.


I've reloaded IE Service pak 2, deleted my Inbox DBX file, removed mail, etc all to now avail as the problem is still there. I also get a pop up saying;
An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'pop-server', Server: 'pop-server.stny.rr.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800C0131

Now the interesting thing is I can go into Outlook and receive my mail and access the server with no problem, it's only in Outlook Express I'm having this problem. So that tells me the memory / Disk error may not be the problem.

Any ideas what I should try next.

My System

Check out the attributes of the *.dbx files as noted in this MS KB article ....

OLEXP: Err Msg: "This Program Has Performed an Illegal Operation and Will Be Shut Down"

If you find any with the 'read only' attribute fixing those should also fix the 0x800C0131 error message.

Footnote - I changed the colour of you message quotes - impossible to read if the silver option is selected for the BBS

Thanks Pete. tried them all and still getting the same errors. If I leave OE on, when running OK after a reboot, I 'll come back to a MIME error and then the same issues with the same messages as in my original note. Open Outlook and it works fine. Almost acts like Outlook Express has a mind of it's own

Thanks Jim. I'm still running, don't laugh, ME so those XP fixes would not apply. I know a lot of my PC problems are directly related to running ME, but can't see upgrading till February when Vista becomes available. Then I'm going to get a whole new system, as mine current Dell 8100 is running RDRAM and you know it's problems. Thanks
