Thanks Bruce, that took care of the problem, OE is now working. I had not
realized I could overload by keeping too many messages in the inbox. Will not
do that again. Thanks again for the quick, concise and accurate help.

Please start your own thread in the future. You are asking to get bad advice
when you send a *Me Too!* post. You have a corrupt Inbox, NOT Folders.dbx.

Error Number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.

Move any mail you wish to save to a local folder you create. Then:

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in
Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run.

In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options |
View.

With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question {Inbox.dbx} and
delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

A correction to my previous post, my error message is actually as pasted
here;

'An unknown error has occurred. Account: Server: 'my.inbox.com', Protocol:
POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800C0133'

I believe you will find that Folders.dbx is the culprit and needs to be
deleted. You will lose your folders hierarchy, but they can be dragged
back
to their respective locations easy enough.

Hello,

I keep getting the error message

"An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'shawmail', Server:
'shawmail',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800C013A"

whenever outlook express 6.0 tries to download my e-mail from my
service
provider. I have tried renaming the incoming and outgoing servers and
deleting my inbox (to see if it was corrupted), however, neither has
fixed
the problem.

How do I go about fixing this error?

Your help is appreciated.
