Dear Borg, the OP (antonyfx09mh) has a sent items.dbx folder of Outlook Express which is over 400 MB in size. When he/she tries to open it, he/she finds that only few emails are there in the folder and also the size is small. He/she thinks that may be this is corruption due to which this is happening. Now he/she wants a software that can take out the emails from the corrupt DBX folder. I hope you understood now.

Thanks.
@Susana Castillo - I was asking the OP to provide some additional information to see if they would respond. As you have seen today, there are several posts on the forum about this and similar Outlook issues. However, very often the OP never provides much information and doesn't even return to see the answers to their questions. If you click on antonyfx09mh's name, you will see that he created an account on Oct. 27, asked this single question and never returned. This is typical of the Outlook recovery questions.
 
This appears to have been spam. There were several hit-and-run posts, 1-2 months old, which all of a sudden were all answered today by the same person.
