DBX files in Outlook Express save all the data, such as, e-mails, contacts, calendar entries, and more. However, like any other file, these files are equally prone to corruption due to logical crashes like improper system shutdown, virus attack, header corruption, third-party tool interference, background compaction, and more similar reasons. In most situations of .dbx file damage, an Outlook Express user encounters an MSIMN error message. This error message prevents the user from accessing the data saved in the DBX files. An easy alternative to master any MSIMN error message is by restoring the .dbx files from an updated backup. However, in case of insufficient or incomplete backup, the Outlook Express user needs to repair corrupted database. To effectively do so, the user needs to opt for a third-party Outlook Express Recovery software.

The above scenario can be explained with the help of below MSIMN error messages:

“MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in module Msoe.dll”

“MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in module “unknown””

“MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in module Directdb.dll”

“Msimn caused an exception C0000006h in module Directdb.dll ”

These error message appears when the user tries to open any of the e-mail saved in Outlook Express Inbox. All the data saved in the .dbx files becomes inaccessible after any of the error message flashes on the screen.

Grounds of the Issue:

The reason for the occurrence of the above error messages is corruption in .dbx file.

Resolution:

To get past all the above error messages and access the database, the user needs to follow underneath steps:

1. Click Start, select Find, and then choose ‘All files and folders’ option.

2. Type ‘folders.dbx’ in the ‘All or part of file name’ box.

3. Select the drive (in most cases, it is C) in the ‘Look in’ box. Click ‘Find Now’.

4. Select the .dbx file and rename it. Type folders.old and then press OK.

5. Restart Outlook Express and try to access the e-mails.
