DBX File Repair utility

Microsoft Outlook Express is a client side email application, first shipped with Internet Explorer 4.0. The application now comes with Windows 2000 and XP along with Internet Explorer 4.0 to 6.0. Outlook Express has been developed for the home users in need of reliable as well as quality Internet, E-Mail, and News group services.

Though the naming conventions are alike, there are many differences in between Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. Unlike Outlook Express, the target users groups of MS Outlook are the business class users, who need more sophisticated email functionality with close integration of various tools for collaboration and information management. Apart from this, there are many differences in the mail storage architecture of both these applications.

MS Outlook stores all the emails, contacts, notes, calendar entries etc. inside PST files (.pst). Installed with default settings, all the mail folders and sub folders are stored in a single PST file with the name, 'Outlook.pst'. If the setting of MS Outlook has been modified, then the entire mail components are stored in a bunch of PST files at a defined location. However, the PST files are not organized with respect to the mail folders ('Inbox', 'Draft', 'Sent' etc.) and the names only match the root folders. Therefore, if any problem occurs with your 'Inbox' folder or it becomes inaccessible, you need to try recovering the .pst files related to the root folder in which mails of 'Inbox' folder are stored.

In case of Microsoft Outlook Express, it stores all your mails and other components in different DBX files. Unlike MS Outlook, Outlook Express creates individual .dbx files for each mailbox. For example, it creates Inbox.dbx file and stores all your mails in the 'Inbox' folder. Similarly, it creates Draft.dbx, Sent Items.dbx etc files and stores the corresponding data within them. Hence, if your 'Inbox' folder has been corrupted or inaccessible, you can select the 'Inbox.dbx' file and recover all your emails back.

Stellar Phoenix Outlook Express Recovery software provides option to select individual .dbx file and recovers all your inaccessible mails from the corresponding mail folders in few easy steps. Below steps will give a clear idea about the recovery process:
