Hi - Outlook doesn't use .dbx files - OE does. You can probably open it in
Outlook Express if you copy the folder to the right place & then export to
Outlook. Try posting in an OE group for more help as OE is not part of
Office and is not Outlook -

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:

You could use our new Aid4Mail software to import your .dbx file directly
into Outlook. Aid4Mail even restores message status details (unread, read,
replied, etc.) Here's the Aid4Mail homepage:

Hope you find this useful.
