Default help - OE inbox.dbx corrupted

apart from 5 default folders (Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items,
Deleted Items and Drafts) i have 15 more different folders
i created recently. i can browse the content of all
folders except Inbox. (when opened OE does not go directly
to Inbox). the very moment i click on Inbox OE stops
responding and goes frozen. there are about 320 messages
in Inbox (total size of Inbox is approx 300MB) and i would
like to have them back. i tried renaming Inbox to
something else but the problem remains. OE creates new
(empty) Inbox and i can see the old one (renamed) in the
list of folders (showing how many messages it contains)
but as soon as i click on it OE stops responding.

I work with windows 2000 and OE 6.0

any ideas ???


thanks
