Save mails from inbox you want to keep (for exemple create a
subdirectory and put them there)
close OE
make your AV inactive
search for dbx files
delete
inbox.dbx
deleted items.dbx
Then reopen OE

Don't store messages in the Inbox. It is the folder most apt to be
corrupted. As soon as you read them move them to user created folders.
Which appears to be what has happened to yours. Then compact the Inbox
regularly.

Go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and write down where OE
is storing its data.
Close OE.
Go there with Windows Explorer and move (not copy) Inbox.dbx to an empty
Windows
folder. With Win2K and WinXP it will be a hidden file.

You can use this tool to extract the messages from the old DBX file:

DBXtract (free): http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/

With a large file this can take a long time, so let it keep running.

The messages can be dragged from a Windows folder back into an OE folder in
OE's Folder List.
