Hello Mark,

Probably your connection is set to dial your default connection.
Please go to control panel and open network connections,
then select the tab for connections and make sure you have selected "never dial a connection"
this assuming you are using a broadband connection.
Hope this helps.

Hi there

in case of an overfull inbox or corrupt folder file (as in this case), compacting all folders could help as well.

Please first make a copy of all the files & folders found in C:\Documents and Settings\(User)\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{GIU}\Microsoft\Outlook\ and save it to another location, e.G.: create a new folder under My Documents and paste the files there.

If Outlook Express is still starting up, please go to File -> Folder -> Compact all Folders

This migth take a while, and Outlook might appear to have crashed, but please be patient and do not cancel this process.

After this is completed please try to download files again, if the error still occurs and you can still access the inbox you would need to follow the steps above.

If you have emails in your inbox you would like to retain you can try the following trick:
Create a new folder in your inbox called "mails"
Move all emails from your inbox to "mails" by dragging them into this folder.

To get the exact location of the inbox you can check here :
Tools" -> "Options" -> "Maintenance" tab -> "Store Folder"
and close Outlook before you go on.

Delete or rename the current inbox.dbx as above and reopend Outlook. Now can move all emails back into the inbox

Enjoy! :-)
