I have what I think is a strange situation. One person on another list
suggested I do a search for outlook express files, either by name alone or
with the extension .dbx and indicated I could delete it from the search
results and that it would delete the contents but not the folder. Outlook
express is broken on my husband's computer because it was inundated with old
messages; over 26,000 in one folder in particular. We have a tech coming
out but I'd like to clear that folder before he comes. We can no longer
open outlook express on his computer and were told this is most likely
because there is a 2 gb max withoutlook express and all those thousands of
messages have probably exceeded that limit. I did a search on his computer
and could find not one single dbx file. I then tried on mine which has no
problem. Same result. I happen to have a folder in outlook express for my
book port mail. I just did a search for that folder and it came up with
eleven but no dbx and all seemed to pertain to bookport documentation or
bookport transfer. So, as I say, no dbx. I even tried searching just the
extension; no files. We're using windows xp home. I am wondering if any of
you can give me other suggestions as to how to find my outlook express
folders without going into outlook express. Your help, as always, is
appreciated.
