Keeping all your emails in Outlook Express and only in Outlook Express can be dangerous. If the complicated file structure of the dbx files employed by Outlook Express to store mail is only slightly damaged, all your emails may be lost — almost.
OE-Mail Recovery makes it easy to access dbx files Outlook Express refuses to open. A step by step wizard takes you through the process. Unfortunately, OE-Mail Recovery supports only one output format (at least it is simple and universal): eml files.
On the reading end, support for the older mbx files would be nice, too. In addition to saving recovered messages, you can also read them directly in OE-Mail Recovery.
