- Close Outlook Express.
- OE5+: Locate the file Deleted Items.dbx in the mail directory and delete it. You can use
Start, Find, Files or Folders, "Deleted Items.dbx" to find it.
- Open Outlook Express again. It will create a new empty Deleted Items.
Another possibility is that the Inbox.DBX file has been corrupted. For a corrupted Inbox:
- Close Outlook Express
- Rename the file Inbox.dbx to Inboxold.dbx You can use Start, Find, Files or Folders,
Inbox.dbx to find it
- Open Outlook Express again.
- It will create a new empty Inbox.
- The following program may be able to recover some of the messages from the Inboxold.dbx file.

1. Unable to delete messages in inbox
I had a similar problem. What I did was to uninstall IM. Then delete all
associated IM files from my hard drive. Then I reinstalled IM 1.0 and it
works fine. Hope this will help you.
