There is a solution but I just can't remember what it is but if you post
this on the OE group, someone there will be able to help you I am sure.

Errors in DIRECTDB.DLL or MSOE.DLL generally indicate corruption in
the message store. Start by moving Folders.dbx to an empty Windows
folder. You will lose your folder hierarchy and the lists of
newsgroups on the news servers, but it might get you into OE. Note:
The DBX file are hidden files in Win2K, WinXP and Win2K3.

If that doesn't do it then move all of the DBX files to the same
folder as Folders.dbx. You should now get into OE. Try importing the
messages from the folder you moved the DBX files to. If you can't, you
can use these tools to extract the messages:

DBXtract: {Cost: $5.00}

DBXpress: {$24.95, but much faster for large files}
http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx

Note: It can take a long time (days with really large folders).

The messages can then be dragged from the Windows folder back into a
folder in an open instance of OE.

Mike, don't store messages in the inbox or any of the other default
folders. Move them to other folders you create. This will help
minimize corruption. Also turn off scanning of email in your anti-virus
program. This is another source of corruption.
