Answer: Open outlook express. Click on Tools and then Options.\n\nClick on the maintenance tab and then click on the store folder button.  It will open a window containing the directory where your outlook express data files are kept.  Close outlook express and open that folder. Delete the inbox.dbx file.\n\nWhen you start outlook express the next time it will recreate the inbox.  Please note you will lose ALL your email in the inbox if you do this, but all the other folders will remain intact.
