Open Compacted Messages for viewing

Hi,
Once Outlook has compacted my e-mails and stored them in my local folder
they are .dbx files. How do I open those e-mails for viewing at a later
time???

Your inbox is a system created dbx file and you are storing
your email in a user created dbx file. You should compact
all dbx files regularly. All dbx files open the same way with
Outlook Express.

How on EARTH did you manage to work out that reply to the OPs question? Your
reply has NOTHING to do with the OPs question!

You are labouring under a misapprehension. Outlook Express (Not OUTLOOK
which is part of MS Office and is an entirely separate program despite the
similar name) ALWAYS stores all emails in *.dbx files. Compacting your mail
folders did NOT suddenly create these dbx files, they were always there.
Every time you create a new folder in OE, a corresponding dbx file is
created. All compacting does is to remove the "white space" in each file
that occurs when messages are deleted.
You see the folders in the folders list in Outlook Express. That is how you
access them.

We shall see. I appreciate they are separate programmes
but Outlook uses Outlook Express for certain operations.

Actually if a point is to be made both of us should refer
Patricia to an Outlook newsgroup as the question is off
topic for this newsgroup!

True, but an OE group as Outlook (not Express) doesn't use dbx files!

So Patricia is using Outlook Express! At
least Linux is unlikely to confuse the issue!
