Unable To Access OE Store Folder after Renaming Folders.dbx

Dbx Repair - Outlook Express Store Folder stores all your mail folders (*.dbx files), Hotmail folders, local IMAP, subscribed newsgroups and messages. The location of folder depends on the installed operating system and upgrade history. Outlook Express is not a dedicated application and can grow with problems that may corrupt its *.dbx files in Store Folder. The folders like, Inbox or Sent Items, are comparatively more prone to corruption because it is easy for them to become large. If one of these folders gets corrupt or stops storing more email messages, deleting or renaming usually solves the problem. The folder should only be deleted when you have a proper backup or the folder doesn't contain any important emails. To repair the corrupted OE folders, you need to use a proper Outlook Express Repair solution.

To exemplify such problems, consider a scenario as below:

(1) You try to open Outlook Express, but fail to access Store Folder.
(2) You cannot access Store Folder when trying to import *.dbx files in Outlook Express.
(3) You try to rename or copy the Folders.dbx file and then import, but it doesn't work too.

Cause

Most likely, the above behavior occurs when the folder file (Folders.dbx) and/or Inbox file (Inbox.dbx) is damaged.

Solution

Outlook Express recreates the mail folders once it finds them missing or deleted at next start. Thus, you can follow these steps to overcome the existing issue:

(1) Close Outlook Express so that the folders stop receiving more email messages.
(2) Click Start Search (or Find) and locate Folders.dbx and Inbox.dbx. For this, you need to type the file name in search for All files and folders named box and click Search.
(3) You can rename or delete (provided a backup is available) the located folders to OldFolders.dbx or OldInbox.dbx respectively.
(4) Move the OldInbox.dbx to another folder and restart Outlook Express.

To retrieve emails from corrupted Inbox, you need to use a third-party Express Repair tool. These are specialized Outlook Express Repair tools built to run exclusive repair algorithms that prove competent at repairing a damaged OE folder corrupted due to any cause.
