outlook express .dbx file

Nelly

Hi

Just before my brother crashed my computer, I had saved
my outlook express email folders as .bdx files. (This was
before I knew about saving emails as .pst file)

Now, I am not able to open .bdx files nor could I find a
application that could. I even try including the .dbx
files with the current files.

Please advice as to how I'll be able to open the .bdx
files. I have quite a few emails I would like to
retreive.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi - Outlook Express uses .dbx files - Microsoft Outlook uses PST files. If
you have your .dbx files you can probably point OE at them - but you'll get
more help in an OE group (Outlook is a totally different program).

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:

ARe you using Outlook or Express? Outlook uses .pst files, Express uses
..dbx files (not .bdx)
