1. What is your / Tools / Options / Maintenance setting
for Store Folder ?
2. Compare dates of your three DBX files. If you find
they have different dates you can probably delete the
two older ones.

That would indicate that you have three different Identities, unless one
or more of the folders are relics from past installations, backups, or
whatever. Each Identity folder has an "Outlook Express" sub-folder
containing the DBX files that pertain to that Identity. (This assumes
you haven't moved the storage folder.)

Personally, I'd leave them alone, unless you are concerned about
privacy. They aren't hurting anything. In Outlook Express>File
menu>Identities>Manage Identities, how many do you show?

Just one. shows in Manage Identities. I have problems sending mail I get an
error message many times, and have to go to outbox and click send now. I get
the following message "An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: SMTP, Port:

You appear to have a damaged FOLDERS.DBX file.

Close Outlook Express

Click Start, highlight the Find option,
then select Files or Folders.
Or hold down a Windows key and press the F key

In the Named box, type FOLDERS.DBX

In the Look In box, choose the hard disk
on which FOLDERS.DBX resides
[this is usually drive C]
and then click Find Now.

Right-click the FOLDERS.DBX file and choose RENAME.

Type FOLDERS.OLD , and click OK.

Start Outlook Express again.

A new FOLDERS.DBX file will be generated.
Probably a MUCH smaller one, which is good.

When you are satisfied, you can delete FOLDERS.OLD

Thank you very much. Now after I do it how can I get back all the messages
from the .old files?

I renamed the three Sent Items.dbx files to Sent Items.old and it solved the
error problem but my question is if I want to retrieve some of the messages
in the renamed files how do I do it?

...by similarly swapping that Sent Items.dbx file with the main one in your
current folder, then right-click choose to move the that message to your
Drafts folder, and after you put the wanted Sent Items.dbx file back just
move those messages from Draft back to Sent.. just be sure to keep your
original Sent Items.dbx file backup'd safely!

Here's one thing to try:

Move the SENT.OLD file to a different folder (Desktop, whatever,
anywhere will do.) Rename it back to SENT.DBX

Use File>Import>Messages to import the messages from that SENT.DBX file.
You're importing from a Message Store, not an Identity, and you'll
navigate to that lone SENT.DBX file. Import it into a different folder
than default, one that you've created previously, named something like
"Sent_Archive".

For further hints, plus tools you can use to extract the messages into
TXT files directly from the DBX file, see www.insideoe.com and
http://www.oehelp.com

He must of fallen into an earthquake, Solkeys, & his Poodles have not
yet tugged him out by a toe. I'm sure the question is asking what
program created the .dbx, & that would be IE6, judging by your
Properties...
