Hi Stephen,
It is sometimes better to import messages from a folder other than the store
folder. But it may be possible to import the messages in the renamed folder.
[Do Not move this (renamed) file now--Note: Folders.dbx is required for
importing.]
1.. On the File menu, point to Import, and then click Messages.
2.. Select the e-mail program you want to import messages from, and then
click Next.
3.. Verify the location of your messages, and then click Next.
4.. . You can choose Selected Folders to import messages from one or
more folders. click Next.
5.. Click Finish.

Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for your reply. I have read it and find that the
problem about the inbox.dbx file. I follow your solution rename the
inbox.dbx as inbox_tmp.dbx, then I solve the problem successfully ^^. I
think the dbx file is too large becoz it was 1.99 GB in size.
And a more question want to ask. Now I rename the original inbox.dbx file,
will I can't read my old message in outlook store in this file ? If this
case happen any way to solve it ?
Thank your very much again.

Hi Stephen,
The Inbox could be damaged, but I can't find the specific error
connected to
a damaged Inbox. There is the error "0x800C013C" which does indicate a
problem with the Inbox. I think it would be worthwhile to see if the
Inbox.dbx file is the problem. First move the messages you want to keep
to
one or two new Outlook Express folders (or otherwise backup the
messages).
Try sending and receiving before renaming or deleting the Inbox.dbx
file. Do
you have any other folders used when receiving (with the use of message
rules)? If the a new Inbox or other folder does not resolve the issue it
might be easier to create a new identity than finding the damaged DBX
file
through trial and error. Messages could then be imported into the new
identity.
Tip: Compacting messages in Tools, Options, Maintenance, Cleanup Now
might
allow sending/receiving again. Do this in offline mode to lessen the
risk of
corruption. If this works it would be a good idea to reduce the number
of
messages kept in the default Outlook Express folders.
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click
Windows Explorer.
2. In Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, point to Find, and then click
Files or Folders.
3. You may need to include hidden files and folders (Windows 2000 and
XP).
4. Type Outbox.dbx in the Named box, and then click Find Now.
5. Right-click the file name, and then click Rename.
6. Rename the file to Outbox.old.
Note that deleting a .dbx file also deletes any e-mail messages or other
data in the folder. The Store folder can be found in Tools, Options,
Maintenance tab.Store Folder. The text for the path can be copied using
a
right-click and then entered in the Start, Run box. OK to open the Store
folder. Each identity has its own Store folder. Disregard this method if
Outlook Express cannot be opened.
Restart Outlook Express.
Open the Store Folder
Instead of using search the store folder can be opened directly. Each
identity has its own store folder.
a.. In Outlook Express click on Tools, Options, Maintenance
tab...Store
Folder.
b.. Place the cursor at the left of the text of the path to the
folder.
c.. Drag the cursor to the right until the text scrolls to the end.
d.. Right-click on the text and choose Copy.
e.. In the Start, Run box right-click Paste. Click OK to open the
store
folder.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts for Transfer of the Folder Path
An even easier method when opening that page is to use the Tab to
highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C and close OE, then use
Start/Run
and Ctrl+V. Same caveat about hidden files applies but can be easily
modified in Explorer by using Tools/Folder Options.
