DBX files store contents of a mailbox or mailboxes created by Microsoft Outlook Express, along with additional information for easier data access.
File with .MBOX extension contains an email message box file which stores list of messages for given recipient in sequential order. MBOX is a text file, and each message referenced in such file starts with ‘From’ header and ends with newline character.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the DBX file after converting to MBOX may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from DBX to MBOX to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting DBX to MBOX does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in DBX format, properly converted to a MBOX file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file DBX the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of DBX file to other than MBOX. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your DBX file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to MBOX on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the DBX file in its original format (without conversion to MBOX file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
