Sounds like a corrupt inbox database file, which happens all the freakin time with that piece of c***.

Do a file search for something called inbox.dbx - and rename it to inbox.old, and run OE again - it should make a fresh inbox, but you won't have access to your untidied emails. As far as I know there's no effective way of repairing a .dbx file.

Just go into Tools / Options / Maintenance / Store Folder

or right-click an outlook folder and do 'properties'

This will tell you where the dbx files are stored.

Boo!
