(empty of course).

esme said:Alternatively there are several programs out there that can repair corrupt
OE
DBX files, have a look on google for "outlook express" +recovery. You may
have to pay for the tool though and you may lose the last message but you
should be able to recover most if not all messages

Avoid Such Corruption in Future:
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.
- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a
manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.
- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

I am a firm believer that E-mail scanning is *more* that worthless. :-D
When I installed AVG7, I did not install the E-Mail Scanner.
Thought that this might interest you...
