Thanks DoubleHelix. I should have included that in my post.DoubleHelix said:If you do that, you'll lose everything in your Inbox, so save any messages you want first.

Okay Brian W. Here are the instructions for getting to the message store folder.
This is pretty simple to do. Just follow the steps below. If you have any problems or don't understand something, please ask.
Open OE and save or move any messages you want in the Inbox.
Click on Tools>Options>Maintenance tab>Store Folder.
On the Store Location box, highlight the address by pressing the Tab key on your keyboard.
Press Control+C (both at the same time) to copy the address to the clipboard.
Click Cancel on all boxes and close OE.
Click on Start>Run.
Press Control+V (both at the same time) to paste the address into the command line and click OK.
The store folder containing all the DBX files should open.
Find the one named Inbox and delete it. When you next open OE a new Inbox will be created and hopefully that will solve the problem.
