Which files can Express Archiver read ?
Outlook Express stores every mail of a folder (Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items,…) in a file with the extension .dbx. This was not the case until version 5 of Outlook Express, which stored mails in .mbx files. The format of these file is proprietary, which means that their specifications have not been made public. Express Archiver can read all the needed information from .dbx files, which allows extraction of all the mails and related information (has the message been read, answered, forwarded, is it marked as urgent, and so on). As for Outlook files (as opposed to Outlook Express files), please read the answer to the next question.
