    Is there a way to repair a corrupted .dbx file for OE? When opening the inbox no messages are displayed, other than an error message suggesting that there may not be enough disk space or memory.

    Thanks in advance!

    You need in OE-Mail Recovery. http://www.oemailrecovery.com/dbx-extract.html
    Use that utility to pull the emails from the inbox
    Then delete the inbox.dbx
    Reopen the OE and a new inbox.dbx will be created
    Create a few new folders and drag those messages you extracted back into those folders. Do not let the inbox get to full. Hence create other folders.
