The dbx file extension is mainly related to the Microsoft Outlook Express, an e-mail and news client included in earlier releases of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The dbx files are used for storing users messages that Outlook Express saves 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, one for each message. So inbox.dbx will contain emails from your inbox for example.You can also find 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.
Microsoft Outlook Express is obsolete software, replaced by Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail applications.
Outlook Express is able to access *.dbx files. DBX format can also be imported to Windows Live and Windows Live Mail.
Typically whole e-mail folders can be transferred from one e-mail client to another, or single messages can be exported and saved individually.
