I moved about half the messages from my inbox to another
folder and moved it out of the Outlook directories
altogether. Now I find that Outlook will not read it while
it sits in any other directory. When I try to transfer it
back (by copying the file back into the same directory
with all the other .dbx files that Outlook DOES read), the
Outlook program doesn't seem to recognize its presence.

What do I do when I want to look at those messages again?
How can I read them with Outlook?
 
You've mentioned .dbx files - Outlook doesn't use those; it uses PST files.
Outlook Express has its own newsgroups.

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).
