My inbox disapear from the folder list in outlook express, the other folder are there normally.

I searched for the outlook express folders and I found it, in that folder it has two inboxes one named inbox.dbx its size is 42 mb, and the other is named inbox(1) only with few bytes.

Did  anybody  know a free tool to repair a .dbx file.

Thanks

Hi Simon,

You can first try using the methods listed in the KB article below to troubleshoot Outlook Express issues:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2398839

If this doesn't resolve the issue, you'll need to find a third-party repair tool to do it.

In addition, since Outlook Express is not supported now. In order to get a better user experience and support, it's recommended to upgrade your mail client to a newer version.

Thanks,
