Hi Dan & Mike, I have had 1 corrupted email do some really weird stuff to the Outlook Express program! If you have an email that won't delete or open, there is definitely something wrong with it, from what I gathered from past experience.
Take care.

If you remove dbx files, you will lose all of the messages in the folder associated with that dbx file. If you delete inbox.dbx, you'll lose all those message. So if you have important ones, move them to another folder. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dan mccurley" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2012 2:16 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] I need help with outlook express; > Thanks for the help; will I loose all the messages in the outbox, sent > items folder and the deleted items folder if I do what you suggested?
