file extension DBX - Outlook Express e-mail folder
File extension DBX description:
Outlook Express stores your messages in dbx files, other programs cannot work with mailboxes with dbx extension.
Outlook Express saves your .dbx in a folder on your computer. To find this folder, open outlook express and select the maintenance option (tools > options > maintenance). In this folder, you may find a number of .dbx files. Outlook Express creates a .dbx file for each message folder in Outlook Express. So inbox.dbx will contain emails from your inbox for example.
You'll also notice a file called folders.dbx. This file contains an index of all your message folders
It is quite difficult to extract individual emails from a .dbx file, however there are many applications available that are able to do this DBXtract

Outlook Express is an e-mail client that was included with Internet Explorer versions Internet Explorer 4.0 through 6.0. It was also bundled with several versions of Microsoft Windows, from Windows 98 to Windows XP, and was available for Windows 95 and Mac OS 9. In Windows Vista, Outlook Express is replaced with Windows Mail. Windows Live Mail has since been released as the successor to Outlook Express and Windows Mail.
Outlook Express is a different application from the Microsoft Office Outlook e-mail client. The two programs do not share a common codebase, but do share a common architectural philosophy. Outlook Express uses the Windows Address Book to store contact information and integrates tightly with it. On Windows XP, it also integrates with Windows Messenger.
