Outlook Express is an e-mail and news client that is distributed with Internet Explorer versions 4.0 through 6.0. The application provides 'Find Message' function as a search tool for searching the e-mail messages' text, particular email, and associated e-mail id.

One of the probable reasons for such behavior to occur could be the corruption in one or more Outlook Express folders (*.dbx files). Normally, compacting or recreating the corrupted folder(s) solves such corruption issues. But to repair them, you need to use DBX Repair software.
At times, you may observe that the 'Find Message' function stops working. When you specify the search criteria and click to find the message, this results in a blank window. You can notice this behavior while searching in a specific folder.
Cause
The 'Find Message' function can fail due to the following possible reasons:
1) Outlook Express identity is damaged.
2) The specific Outlook Express folder is corrupt.
Solution
You need to apply these solutions to solve this problem:
1) If the identity is corrupt, you should create a new identity. This operation recreates the message store folder and also all the registry keys. You need to follow these steps to recreate the identity:
1.1) You should first export all the emails and news accounts to import them later in the new identity.
1.2) To create the new identity, you need to click File Identities Add New Identity, specify the name of the new identity and then click 'Ok'.
1.3) You need to implement the new identity by clicking 'Yes' when it prompts to switch.
1.4) Next, you should close the 'New Account' wizard and choose not to import the settings or messages at this time.
1.5) You can then import all the accounts and mail messages to this new identity.
2) If the Outlook Express folder(s) are corrupt, you should repair using these suggestions:
2.1) Minor corruption can be fixed by compacting the specific folder.
2.2) If the corruption still exists, you can use an DBX Repair Tool. A DBX Repair application is a key to repair corrupted *.dbx files safely and quickly.
Outlook Express Recovery is a powerful solution that repairs DBX folders created with Outlook Express 5.x and Outlook Express 6.x. The advanced DBX Repair utility restores the recovered messages as *.dbx file or *.eml files. The software is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003, and 2000.

2) If Outlook Express starts successfully, you should compact these folders.
3) If you still cannot start the application, you should rename the Inbox.dbx file. Locate the file named *.dbx in Windows Explorer by including search for hidden files.

Unable To Access OE Store Folder after Renaming Folders.dbx
Outlook Express Store Folder stores all your mail folders (*.dbx files), Hotmail folders, local IMAP, subscribed newsgroups and messages. The location of folder depends on the installed operating system and upgrade history. Outlook Express is not a dedicated application and can grow with problems that may corrupt its *.dbx files in Store Folder. The folders like, Inbox or Sent Items, are comparatively more prone to corruption because it is easy for them to become large.

(3) You can rename or delete (provided a backup is available) the located folders to OldFolders.dbx or OldInbox.dbx respectively.
