This program will extract the messages from an Outlook Express (5.0 -
6.0) mailbox and convert it either to the standard mbox or the Outlook
Express eml format. The advantage of saving your mail in mbox format is,
that it's a plain text format, which can be read by many mail-clients.
Converting to eml format is a convenient way to re-import the messages
into Oulook Express.

The handling of eml export is a little bit smarter than the one offered
by Outlook Express itself. Outlook Express will overwrite messages with
same sender and subject, while DbxConv enumerates the messages, so you
can be sure none is lost due to conversion.

This is a great tool. I used it in the process of converting my email
from OE6 to Calypso 3.3 last year. Before importing the results into
Calypso, you do have to change the extension of the mbox files from .mbx
to .txt first.

Now that I am leaving Calypso and going back to OE6, I only wish the
process were as easy and clean. I've found a way to do it but it will
take awhile to convert/verify/correct the results. But I'm not
complaining; at least it's doable!
