What is DBX File?

A DBX file is an email extension created by a desktop email client known as Outlook Express. It is a collection of folders that saves the OE mailbox as .dbx for a user profile. For example: common mailboxes are Inbox.dbx, Drafts.dbx, Sent Items.dbx, Deleted Items.dbx, etc. The Folder.dbx stores the master index for all the mailboxes. If it goes missing, Outlook Express re-indexs the mailboxes and recreates it again.

However, the Outlook Express application was discontinued long ago. It was used with the earlier versions of Internet Explorer. Yet you can view the DBX files and data easily without losing its formatting or integrity, with the DBX Viewer software. It is your friendly support and a great way to manage DBX data with ease.
