Email losses are largely attributed to DBX corruption. When you receive emails in your inbox, these messages are stored in a single file, usually called a DBX file. DBX files are provided with the DBX extension and named according to the folder where the emails are located. If a DBX file is corrupted, there are several ways to fix it. This article discusses two methods for recovering a corrupted DBX file. The first method is the compression method. It uses the compression utility to compress and remove inconsistencies or redundant information in the DBX file. The second method is the forwarding method, which attempts to move all emails from a corrupted folder to a working folder.
Outlook stores emails, address book entries and other data in a PST (Outlook Personal Information Store) file. If you have saved the PST file or if you need information from another PST file, restore it from Outlook. Losing this information can be scary, but Outlook makes it really easy to recover data so you can recover your Outlook contacts and emails.
Imagine that your Outlook Express email database has been deleted or your file system has been damaged. In this case, you need a recovery tool to recover the files. Common deletion tools usually scan your hard drive and list a number of files with corrupted or damaged file names. What is the purpose of this information if you only need your email database?
Using the Compacting Utility
To get started, follow these steps:
- In Outlook Express, click Work Offline on the File menu to stop each transfer.
- In the folder list, click Outlook Express to make sure that no e-mail or message folders are open.
- Close the list of folders by clicking on the X in the upper right corner of the List pane.
- From the File menu, select Folder, then Compact all folders.
- This may take a few minutes.
