Okay, folks. Now we're definitely getting into areas that are out of bounds
for the list. Let's carry this on in private emails, please.

Hi Tracy,
 
    Following is the path to the folder that contains the dbx files:
 

c:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\Left Brace D70 etc\Microsoft\Outlook Express

 

    I realize that this is a bit complicated at first, so you can contact me
privately if you still have trouble finding these. My E-mail address is:

 

donmoore@xxxxxxxxxxx

 

    Hope this helps,

 

    Don

How and where do I search for these DBX files?

Hi,
It seems like I've run across this problem before, and my guess is that the
deleted items folder and possibly the inbox are corrupted. When I saw this
on a client's machine a couple of years back, I did a search for the .dbx
files, which are the mail folders.  I manually erased the deleted items
folder and the inbox.  OE rebuilds them for you.  So if you've read
everything in your inbox and deleted items, go ahead and trash both of those
.dbx files and let OE rebuild them.
 
Hope this helps.
Tom

I can't move messages to the deleted messages folder, but I can move them to
other folders. I tried emptying the deleted messages folder and it won't
work either.
