Unable to receive mail error 0x800c0133

Error 0x800c0133 when you are retrieving email with your Outlook Express (OE) is because of currupted Inbox file or 2 GB file limit of the mailbox

To remedy please follow these steps:
  • Open OE, on the left pane, right click "Local Folders", select "New Folder...", specify a name for your new folder as "Temp".
  • If you are still able to access "Inbox", move all mails in "Inbox" to the new "Temp" folder.
  • Go to menu "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Maintenance" tab -> "Store Folder" button. It will show the location of your Inbox file, please remember this location.
  • Close OE, go to the location mentioned above, delete the file "inbox.dbx".
  • Restart OE, the "Inbox" folder should be auto recreated. Move back your mails to the new "Inbox", remove the "Temp" folder.

I heard about not bad application-open dbx file, tool that allows the user to recover lost messages from corrupted Outlook Express folders,extracts and saves the user's messages from files with the dbx extension that Outlook Express uses to store folders, messages and news on the local disk,can be used to reindex large *.dbx files, which helps Outlook Express to start working normally again.
