All of these files are indexed, after which the associated information is stored in Folders.dbx file. It contains the structure of all new groups, mail folders and synchronization data, if any.
Now, if incase the folder has become corrupted or damaged, it will affect other Outlook Express mail folders as well and in turn, making the data inaccessible. In some extreme cases, the corruption can further corrupt the mail folders.
