I have Outlook Express 6. When I try to send/receive my mail I get this error: Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133 can anyone help with this please

I went and read a few articles on this I tried to delete the Folders.dbx, renamed server, flip pass and username. I just can't go there. Can anyone help on this.

Thank you

It isn't Folders.dbx which is screwed, it's Inbox.
 
**************************************************
 
Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.
 
Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.
 
Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
 
In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
 
With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
 
General precautions for Outlook Express:
 
Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
 
After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
 
Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
 
Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
