Outlook Express DBX File Repair: Outlook Express Repair Tool
Today email has become the most relevant and effective source of communication. It helps a person or an organization to communicate with each other. This is one of the cheapest and fastest means of communication. The two things that are mainly required to use email are: computer and Internet connection. These days, the email service is also available on mobile devices. We may use them to send and receive emails from other users.
“Email stands for electronic mail that helps users to communicate electronically with each other. It is a method of exchanging digital messages from one person to another.”
There are many email apps that offer excellent email service. Outlook Express is one of the most common email applications on Windows operating systems and has been so in excess for the past decade. It’s not really an email program. It only provides us with a platform that is used for mailing purposes. We need to configure our email account within it. It has a variety of unique features and advantages that make it the best option for an individual. With an Outlook Express email account, we can easily add (set up) multiple email accounts and then access all of them from Outlook Express. All we have to do is provide a unique username, password and email address to the server and then we can easily access other mail accounts from it.
outlook express contains DBX (database exchange) file for each mailbox, contact mailbox, and newsgroup. Uses DBX as a file extension, such as: “Inbox.dbx”, “Sent Items.dbx”, “Drafts.dbx”, “Deleted Items.dbx”, “My Folder.dbx”, etc. These files are very sensitive, so Microsoft suggests that we not try to open them in other email programs or try to import them manually. If we take such action, these files may get corrupted or the performance of Outlook Express might be affected. Apart from these, some other factors are also harmful for these files and can corrupt them. Such as: virus infection in our emails when sending or receiving them; accident in the computer system; sudden cancellation of the OE program; abrupt system shutdown; weak or interrupted internet connection; etc
Outlook Express application may become slow due to corruption or sometimes it may crash while opening mails. Sometimes the corruption is really very heavy and the files are extremely damaged. In such a situation, some error messages may appear. For example:
“Outlook Express: The message could not be sent. There is not enough disk space.”
gold
“MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in the Directdb.dll module.”
These errors must be resolved in order to open or access DBX files. A valid BKF file can play an important role in resolving this situation. If we have a BKF file, we can easily restore our DBX files from it. The latest update applied to Outlook Express automatically backs up DBX files to the Recycle Bin. Files can be restored from the Recycle Bin if the files are damaged, lost, or accidentally deleted. Sometimes we empty the Recycle Bin by deleting all files, therefore we don’t have any BKF file that can be used for restore. In such a situation, we can repair the damaged files manually and by using third party recovery software. Both solutions are very effective in repairing corrupted files. But sometimes, the manual solution may fail to repair the files. In such situation, we can use third party recovery software.
Repair corrupt DBX files manually
We can repair corrupt DBX files by creating a new DBX file and extract the data from the old DBX files to the new one. First save the corrupted DBX files in a safe place. Next, we need to remove the files from the directory where the Outlook Express application saves the files. Now open Outlook Express and create a new DBX file. Extract all messages from the old DBX file to the new DBX file.
Repair corrupted DBX files using third-party DBX recovery software
Apart from a manual solution, we have one more option to repair corrupted DBX file, which is third-party recovery software. Third party recovery software is very useful and effective solution to repair corrupted DBX files. It intensively recovers data, including all attachments (documents and images) of damaged DBX files. We can easily restore all the properties of the mail, such as: Subject, To, From, CC, BCC, Date, etc. The software is compatible with all major versions of Outlook Express, that is to say from Outlook Express 5.0 to 6.0 and works smoothly on all major versions of Windows operating systems such as: Win 98, NT4.0, 2000, Me, XP, 2003, Vista and Win 7.
