    spytron - Welcome to the Board :)

    I suspect your Inbox is corrupted and although the 'official' limit to .dbx files is 2 Gb OE can play funny long before then.

    The first step you should take is to make a copy of Inbox.dbx and store it elsewhere on your drive for safety. In the event that further problems arise in trying to correct this you at least have a backup copy.

    Then read this MS KB article ....

    All e-mail items may be missing when you start Outlook Express 6.0 Service Pack 1 or Outlook Express 6.0 Service Pack 2

    The most likely solution would be to extract the mails from Inbox.dbx using DbExtract which will save to a text file I think - haven't used it in years and then, with OE closed, delete Inbox.dbx. OE will recreate it the next time it is opened.
