Find the folder containing the inbox.dbx. In this folder there is a file,
folder.dbx, delete this file. Restart the computer, Windows will remake a
new folder.dbx file. Open outlook express and the inbox should show all the
missing emails. Some time you will see two inboxes listed, delete the newer
one if empty or you could keep both of them.
