hi Andy, sounds like outlook express has been corrupted some way.
follow these steps and you should be ok again.
1. make sure you have hidden files and folders showing in the control panel 
folder options.
2. on your c drive, locate document and settings and find your name should 
be something called Andy Collins.
3 in there click on local settings, and locate the application data folder 
and identities.
4, click on the long file name b something or other, and then find 
microsoft.
5 now locate the outlook express folder, in there locate the folder called 
folder.dbx and delete it.
6 restart your pc and launch outlook express it should then work.

Hi all - I've lost the use of Outlook Express! The situation at the
moment is that when I look in properties for OE, the target for the
short cut is the desk-top, instead of the path to the smimn.exe file.
I seem to have no way of changing this as I can't enter the target
box
that says 'My computer.' I've managed to locate the sminm.exe file
from within the OE folder itself, and have coppied it to the desk-
top,
thinking I might be able to select it from within the 'find target'
edit box, but looking in there just give me a list of all the items
on
the desk-top, but doesn't allow me to alter the highlighted one
of 'my
computer.' I'm currently reading mail through my ISP website, but
this
is not at all satisfactory, and I've missed and lsot loads of
messages
over the last 4 days! Greatful for any help. Andy
