Default Msimn has caused an error in DIRECTDB.DLL

DIRECTDB.DLL error
One possible reason for this error is if the all important file folders.dbx
has become damaged. To fix it, try first to compact your folders whilst
offline. Do this by selecting and clicking File | Folder | Compact All
Folders. If this doesn't resolve the problem then close OE and rename (or
delete) the file folders.dbx in your Identity's store folder. You can
establish the location of the store by selecting Tools | Options | Maintenance
| Store Location. When OE restarts it will rebuild a new clean copy of
folders.dbx.

Note though that folders.dbx is the master index for the message store and
stores not only the layout of your folders in the folder list but also, for
example, the details of the messages that have been read in the newsgroups and
also the list of available newsgroups. This information will be lost when you
delete folders.dbx meaning that for example your folders list will have all
folders as being top level folders and you will have to rebuild any folder
tree you might have, likewise details of read messages will have been lost,
the list of available newsgroups and your synchronisation settings.

For more details see MS KB 233264 - "OLEXP: Error Message If the Folders.dbx
File Is Missing or Damaged" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=233264).
