Read Outlook dbx files from vb.net app

[Stefke]

Hi,

Does anyone have a clue how to read the outlook express dbx files stored in
the identity folder of your profile form a vb.net application.
I wanted to write a vb.net app which reads these files and stores the
messages in it, in a database.
Can anyone help me with this

Thanx

Stefke

The DBX format is undocumented. Steve Cochran [MVP] has written tools for
extracting messages from DBX files, which can be found at
<URL:http://www.oehelp.com/> (currently not available). You may want to
contact him, maybe he will sell you a library for reading DBX files...
