It sounds like you have a problem with your folder.dbx file.

The following is from this site (www.tiscali.co.uk)

Solution
The usual cause of this error is a missing or damaged folders.dbx file. Either that or it is using a read only attribute. To fix this bug;

* Click Start,
* then Find
* then click Files or Folders.
* In the Named box, type folders.dbx.
* In the Look In box, click your main hard disk (this is usually drive C), and then click Find Now.
* Right-click the Folders.dbx file, and then click Rename.
* Type folders.old, and click OK.
* Start Outlook Express again. This creates a new Folders.dbx file automatically.
