Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / April 2007Inbox.dbx
Hi All, After much warning with slow loading time, and having to delete messages from the web server, before my Inbox.dbx would load, it eventually corrupted and I saved as InboxOld.dbx and made a folder to call it, to no avail. The new Inbox.dbx works perfectly. Have I lost 635 megs of messages, or is there a program to fix it? If I could just delete the last five unread messages, I know I can pull it up again, but I don't have anything to view/edit that big a file. Thanks in Advance, Bill mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ > Hi All, > After much warning with slow loading time, and having to delete [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Bill > mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ DBXtract or DBXpress (http://www.oehelp.com). You can drag the extracted EML files back into a folder in OE. Don't use the Inbox, though, create a new folder for archiving messages.

Actually I thought I'd better check disk and that took 36 hours: http://www.billhughes.com/temp/scandiskC42507.jpg Then my connection with Hughes.net gave up as for par, and had to resort to AOL dial-up to get your programs: http://www.billhughes.com/temp/DBXpress.jpg I think what I need now is a program that'll fix that DBX file, it make for searching for past messages much easier, than just a subject named file. Thanks again, Bill mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com > YW. What happened to Nancy?! > > > Thanks Robear. > > -Bill [It's not a good idea to post or use a real email address in newsgroup posts, Bill.] The DBX file can't be "fixed". Messages recovered by DBXpress can be dragged into an OE folder. Reposting... General, Win9x-specific OE Caveats: - Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages.

Yes Robear, I realize most nowadays, most are not responsible, and blame others for their failures.
