have you checked where it is storing your messages?

to do this goto Outlook Distress > Tools > Options select the tab under options labelled 'Maintenance'. At the bottom of this screen you will see a button labelled store folder... click this, make a note of the extremly long path and check if this is the same as the path were all your .dbx files are stored. If it is then the chances are they are corrupt..

You can try adding them back in but this is a tutorial all in itself, and with my writing skills dont know if I am the man for the job.. let me know if I can be of more assistance though
