Guide Review - Advanced Outlook Express Repair 1.5
There's a lot of valuable information in my email archives that I certainly don't want to lose. Unfortunately, Outlook Express uses a special format for storing these messages, so it's not easy to extract messages, and if only a tiny bit of a dbx file is corrupt, Outlook Express refuses to load all messages in it.

Fortunately, I don't have to say good-bye to all my emails yet. Advanced Outlook Express Repair can still extract the good messages and save them as eml files so I can simply drag them back to my Outlook Express folder.

The process is easy and works predictably, but a bit more flexibility concerning the output format would be nice — Advanced Outlook Express Repair could re-construct the original dbx or mbx file, for example.

Repair Oulook ExpressDecember 14, 2008By zinzinbar
"None of the programs touted on this webpage fixed my problem, which is that the emails suddenly started to stick in the Outbox. I have to manually delete the emails from the outbox. I receive emails, and the emails are sent, but they are stuck in the outbox. None of the programs fixed this problem."
