Re: Outlook Express 6.0

Outlook Express use .dbx files. (Folders.dbx/Inbox.dbx/Offline.dbx)

They're located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\ _USERNAME_ \Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\ _{D28BEC46-EF94-4C0B-B06D-3587843810D2}_ \Microsoft\Outlook
Express

_USERNAME_ is your used id. 
_{D28BEC46-EF94-4C0B-B06D-3587843810D2}_ will be different. 

Copy the files out, then re-install Outlook Express (better still use
another email client).
Then copy the files back in. 

If you go with another email client you should be able to import from
Outlook Express.

I'd suggest looking for tools to repair corrupted .PST files.  I think it's
more common for your data to become corrupt than for the app itself.
