How might I stop OE from "losing" files/e-mails in the inbox and outbox every time it is restarted?

Basically..any e-mail that is downloaded from the mail server to the system disappears once OE has restarted.

OE was uninstalled..then deleted in safe mode..and reinstalled, but the problem still exists.

I think this is a result of a worm/virus attack, but all the AV scans I've used to date have failed to detect anything. Therein, I'm still trying to figure out why OE is acting this way and what I need to do to fix it...

Thanks!

I am having the same basic problem, but it started when in installed McAfee VirusScan (4.x) I believe this is a known problem wih OE 5.x and 6.x and VS 4.x. What I am hoping to do is repair / rebuild the .dbx files. I can see the .dbx files, but when I try to import them back into OE, it pulls nothing in. Does anybody have any other ideas or suggestions? I have found a lot of repair tools on the web for download, but they all seem to want between $30 and $50 for what I hope is a one-time repair...Ouch!
Thanks.....
