You have one or more damaged folders.
Move any messages you want to save out of Deleted Items, Sent Items and the
Inbox to folders that you create and then close OE and delete the dbx files
for these three folders.
Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in
Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run.
In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options
Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.
With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx, Sent Items.dbx and Inbox.dbx
files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open
OE.
Compact all folders as described below.
To help prevent this in the future:
Do not archive mail in the Inbox or Sent Items. Create your own user defined
folders and move the messages you wish to save to them. Empty Deleted Items
folder daily. Although dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2GB, I
recommend about a 300MB max for less chance of corruption.
Information about the maximum file size of the .dbx files that are used by
Outlook Express:

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.
Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Hi all. I have one e mail in my In box in out look express that wont
delete. I have tried deleting it and for a wile I was getting the
message this program
is not responding and jaws would keep repeating in box out look
express. Now when I try to move it I am getting the message the
selected messages could
not be moved there is not enough disk space. What can I do to fix
this? I was thinking of removing the in box folder all together to
see if that would
work. Many thanks and I hope to hear back from some one asap on how
to get rid of this. from Mich.
