Our computer needed fixing, so all email messages that were important
were backed up on cd in ?.dbx files in compacted form. It is now
necessary to access these messages, but we are unable to access or
'decompact' them. Any ideas or thoughts welcome.
Firstly, only OE can access dbx files. Go here:
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/backup/index.htm
for a detailed explanation on how to backup and restore OE files.
Secondly, please note:
This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.
For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as
http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. 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. Good luck!
