Outlook Express crash

I'm running a G3 Powerbook Pismo, OS 9.1. My e-mail program is Outlook Express v5.0.4. Two nights ago while downloading messages Outlooks Express crashed on me, and I haven't been able to get it running since. The program starts up, but then I get a message box saying, "OE Rules file appears to be corrupted. Cannot use Rules." Then the program shuts down. First thing I did was run a check of the entire harddrive with TechTools Pro. No corrupted files or sectors were found. I tried deleting the Rules files and replacing them with previous back-up versions. I deleted the preferences files. I reinstalled Outlook Express, (upgrading from 5.0.2 in the process.) I even reinstalled the operating system, (upgrading from 9.0.2 in the process.)

Sounds like you've covered all the bases pretty thoroughly thus far.
Would it be a bad time to suggest you might want to try Eudora? :)
Oh, and upgrade to 9.2.2 while you're updating stuff. Just keep running Software Update until it can't find anything else, and if you haven't been upgraded to 9.2.x in the process, go to Apple's site and grab those updates too.
