How to open a dbx file in My Documents, saved from Outlook Express?

E-mail files Outlook Express 6 saved to My Documents ~ but could not open the file in My Documents!

E-mail files Outlook Express 6 saved to My Documents ~ but could not open the file in My Documents!

You must open a dbx, Outlook Express file and it must be in the Outlook Express message store. The file will not open in Windows Mail.

If you have included Folders.dbx in the backup, then you could import the files into WinMail.

  • . EML files saved from Outlook Express in XP Mode change their date later in Windows 7

    I use Outlook Express in XP Mode on Windows 7. Sometimes I "save under" taken from emails Outlook Express Inbox in my data drive D:\, which is accessible from the two XP-Mode (such as % ComputerName % D) and Windows 7 (such as D:\).
    I saved an email as messages in "D % computername%:\folder", say, July 9, 2014.
    Then, 3 weeks later, I browse the D:\folder even under Windows 7 with Windows Explorer in Details view, and to my surprise, the update of this post changed July 29, 2014 at the precise moment that I'm over the file. The Date of creation remains as it was - 9 July 2014.
    Surprises I encounter almost every day, both at home and at work, where I also use Outlook Express to receive emails in XP mode on Windows 7. Simply by looking at a folder that contains recently saved .eml, change files automatically their update at the present moment in time, without even opening an any of them.

    This strange behavior is unique to .eml files. It does not affect any other type of file that I save in XP mode to be seen later in Windows 7.

    Surprises I encounter almost every day... Simply by looking at a folder that contains recently saved .eml, Exchange files automatically their update at the present moment in time

    When you head into a file in the Explorer, Windows will search to see if there is a manager of property for the type of file involved, and if there is, show a ToolTip which gives some of these properties. For an .eml file, it would be ofthe subject , DateReceived.

    These data are extracted the message headers and written to an alternative stream (ADS) in the file Explorer can find them and post them. This would normally happen as soon as the file is written to disk if the location it is written in is indexed, then perhaps the folder that you saved it is not indexed.

    Writing to the ADS is a change in the file, if its DateModified is updated accordingly. The file important dates are not affected - DateSent, DateReceived, DateCreated. Is this a problem?

    This strange behavior is unique to .eml files.

    I don't know if it's true. . EML files are plaintext files, so there is no provision for special properties in the file itself, because it is for, say, .doc or .jpg files. The NTFS file system is a file to has many flows of data, and this is where this type of metadata can be stored. If you want to keep your inviolate .eml files, save them to a FAT drive.

    The .wpd extension is a WordPerfect document. Unless you have
    WordPerfect, or a compatible program installed, you cannot open it.

    Assuming that you have not installed WordPerfect, did you

  • How can I find dbx file so that I can remove it. I am unable to open Outlook Express

    How can I find dbx file so that I can remove it.  I'm unable to open outlook express

    Original title: dbx file

    You try to remove Folders.dbx?
     
     
    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    The path to the message will be very similar to this:
     
    C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express
     
    With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    Note these possible side effects:
     
    When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.
  • How to import a dbx file unique to Windows Live Mail?

    I imported my files of dbx to Outlook Express 6 for WLM (Windows 7) last month, but a valuable record has been lost due to corruption. Now, I discovered a forgotten dbx backup that I'm desperate to add to WLM7, but it does not recognize the dbx file. All the advice I have read, says that you can import all OE6 files and folders at once, and that it does not recognize simple records. There is no work around for this? I'm desperate to import this file, but do not want to lose all my other imported files making.

    Help, please!

    The reason why you can not get imported WLMail dbx files is because Folders.dbx must be included in the backup. Manually recover dbx files in OE, you can export them.

    2: transfer of data from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail

    For Messages:

    In Outlook Express, compact you files first.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Compress your OE folders:
    http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx should be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

    V-2009: open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

    V-2011/2012: Menu button. Import Messages. Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

    Location of OE message store:

    In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP the OE User (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    Note: If any DBX file is over 300 MB, return to OE and move some messages from the folder related to a new user created folder and compact down the size of the file.

    You can not. DBX files contain e-mail messages and are read with Outlook Express. If you have a file with dbx files and included Folders.dbx, you can use the OE import function and import from a store directory.

    If Folders.dbx is not included, then you must import the manually.
