I have windows 98se and Outlook express 5. I have many identities setup on
it however when clicking on the inbox it locks up outlook and I can't do
anything with it at all. I can access other folders that I've created in
the inbox fine but just can't view the inbox root without it locking up.

I have tried changing identities and the inbox works fine in all of those.

Anyone have a solution to this? It has only just started doing it. Where
are all the messages saved on the hard drive?

thanks,

Jon.
 
Hi -

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).

A good website for information on OE is:

I've sorted it now anyway. The inbox portion of outlook was knackered. So I
copied the inbox.idx pasted it into another PC's Outlook inbox. I was then
able to copy the messages into a new inbox folder I'd created then copy this
..idx file back to my other broken outlook. Then moved all the mail back
into my inbox.
