Manjeet, thank you for the solution.
Here is one more which I have been receiving. I have been receiving this error when trying to send/receive emails. This error is thrown by Outlook Express after failing to store the downloaded email in its data store file i.e. Inbox.dbx file. Outlook Express tries to store it in Inbox.dbx, if the Inbox.dbx file is corrupted OR if it reaches the threshold of 2GB then it will not allow to store the emails.
QuoteAn unknown error has occurred. Error Number: 0x800C0133
Follow these 8 steps and you should be able to send/receive emails.
1. In Outlook Express go to Tools >> Options >> Maintenance and then click "Store Folder..." button, and open the path shown there. Check the size of Inbox.dbx, if its size is 2GB it means it has reached it's threhold OR it's corrupt. Irrespective of whether it has been corrupted OR reached the threshold of 2GB, we will move all the messages to the new folder and will create a new blank Inbox.dbx file.
2. Create a new folder in Outlook Express by right clicking "Local Folders" and then clicking "New Folder" and provide it a name e.g. "Inbox Old".
3. Exit Outlook Express
4. Now, open the data store folder of Outlook Express as discussed in step 1.
5. Rename "Inbox.dbx" file to "Inbox1.dbx"
6. Rename "Inbox Old.dbx" to "Inbox.dbx"
7. Rename "Inbox1.dbx" to "Inbox Old.dbx"
8. Start Outlook Express. You will see a blank Inbox folder and all the emails of Inbox will be under Inbox Old folder.
Emails will be functional now. If you still face the same issue, the corrupt .dbx file needs to be repaired with some third party utility.
