Repair Outlook Express 5

Hello,

I've got a beautiful IMac G3 Rev. B from 1998. All ist running well, but it seems that the Outlook Express 5 installation is corrupt. When I start the program the welcome screen appears but then the error " the rule file ist corrupt" is displayed. After that OE quits.
I deleted the existing installation by moving the folder to the trash and reinstalled OE, but the same error appears.
It seems that the previous owner has deleted some files but not correctly deinstalled the program.
IE 5.0 runs without problems.

Any ideas to solve the problem ? Do i have to remove some more components and reinstall it ?

Greetings,

Marcus
