The DBX file is a proprietary file used by Outlook Express. It is here that Outlook Express stores all of your emails and email information. There are several main types of DBX files. These include Inbox.dbx as well as Folders.dbx. Inbox contains all of the messages that are in your current inbox. Folders will have all of the mail messages and other files that you have stored in custom folders. Each of these files are very difficult to extract manually and generally must be opened using Outlook Express.

I really do love FileCure because it's so easy to use - you don't have to be some kind of computer guru to get just what you need!

Plug and play? Not even close. I spent a lot of time trying to get my new, so-called 'plug and play' scanner to work. I was about ready to take it back. ParetoLogic FileCure got it working and saved me a needless trip (and gas!!) back to the store.

I have to admit I'm no computer geek. When something goes wrong, I usually have to call someone to fix it and it costs me a lot of money. When my printer wouldn't work, a friend of mine suggested I try ParetoLogic FileCure a try. I figured it was worth a shot because I was going to have to pay for a geek anyway. I was so happy when it worked... and worked properly!

I figured the graphics card my grandson gave me was broken when I couldn't get it work on my computer. It turns out that I just didn't have the right driver. ParetoLogic FileCure got it workin.

Hello FileCure folks:
I can't thank you enough for this great product. I just bought a new Vista machine and had been having all kinds of problems. First it was my screen and once I got that fixed it was the printer . Finally, my son suggested I try your product. It worked great and continues to keep my computer working. Thanks you.

I hate paying a lot of money for anything. That's why I buy mostly used computer equipment. Last week I thought I got taken when I bought a scanner. It just would not work. ParetoLogic Driver Cure got it working. With the updates, it makes sure my stuff will keep working and that I don't have to pay more money.

I work at a school so my mom thinks I am some kind of computer whiz. I have wasted so much time trying to get her stuff to work. Our IT guy suggested I try ParetoLogic FileCure. It has been a godsend and has saved me a lot of wasted hours. My mom and I can't thank you enough.

My wife bought me a new Vista system, and ever since I have had problems with some of my hardware. I saw FileCure, and decided to give it a shot. Ever since, the Vista and my hardware have been working great. Thanks!

I upgraded my system to Vista, and my printer started to act funny. No error messages, but it just wasn't working quite right. I read that drivers could sometimes be the problem. I looked online and saw FileCure. After downloading FileCure, my printer works great. You guys rock!

If the inbox or other DBX files become damaged the typical fix is to simply blow them away then relaunch Outlook. This has the unfortunate side effect of deleting all the messages in the appropriate folder. Alternatives to this can be complicated and will require third party software to execute. The DBX files frequently become corrupted if too much information is stored in them. Users should archive their mail on a regular basis to prevent this from happening. In addition to the DBX files becoming naturally corrupted over time many viruses and other malignant programs will target them causing problems on the system. Again because of this frequent back ups are highly recommended.

The other time when DBX files become corrupted is when you are moving Outlook Express messages to another identity. When copying the files be very careful not to interrupt the process and make sure that it completes all the way through before accessing the files. Even if you are completely cautious and take all the proper steps a DBX file can become corrupted in this transfer. My suggestion is to archive the email folder before attempting any kind of move.
Sometimes though there simply is nothing you can do. An email comes in and the file gets corrupted shortly thereafter. Let us say that this file is mission critical and must be recovered. There are steps you can take to try and recover the file, but most are not likely to succeed. If you search the internet you can find programs that are made to extract DBX files. If you get lucky the portion of the file that contains the email you are looking for will not be corrupted, if not well then there is not much you can do.
One of the more reliable extractors that I have found is DBX Extract from OEMailrecover.com. This program is free to download and use for a certain time then you must pay for it. OE also has products for other types of file recovery if you are looking for that as well. You can use mail recovery program to get back into any of the DBX and read then copy the files that are recoverable. The interface is easy to use and finding the file you are looking for should be simplistic enough if you are familiar with PC operation. The program lets you also get files remotely so that you can run DBX Extract on your machine and copy files from a users machine on your network. In addition you are going to want to use the Outlook Express DBX Viewer to see what files can and can not be read in the DBX file. This program will not allow you to save or extract any of the files but you can see what is there. The Extract program also has a simple to use batch extract mode that will allow you to simply extract a range of files from the DBX.
The one thing that you have to remember when working with DBX files is that they can easily become corrupted. Once this happens no matter what you do there will be no recovering the file. The key is to demand that you and your users make frequent backups of all the files they need and use on a regular basis. It is not a matter of if a DBX file will become unusable but when. If you take the time to be prepared for this eventuality you can minimize the impact. Have the right tools on hand to fix the issue when it comes up and have the right methods in place to make sure that the impact is minimal.
