Outlook Express DBX files

Where are the Outlook Express message databases stored

Outlook Express stores email messages in DBX files which are located in the

 %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{Identity-GUID}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\

  • Refer to the system tips for a description of %USERPROFILE% thing; you will also need to adjust Windows Explorer settings to show hidden objects - the Local Settings folder is hidden from view with the default system settings.
  • {Identity-GUID} - Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) associated with the specific user identity, something like {1234567890-12AB-CD34-EF12-123456789ABC}

Outlook Express stores message folders in separate .dbx files, one folder per file. The corresponding files are named according to their respective Outlook Express folder names. To create a backup copy of your email, you need to copy all the DBX files to a safe location.

I have accidentaly deleted all pictures from a CF (CompactFlash) card. I was looking for some recovery tools. I tried FAT-based tools, but they could not get back all the pictures (my camera might use some strange image storing mechanism). Then I found Zero Assumption Digital Image Recovery, which found all my pictures and even those deleted half year ago (and not yet overwritten). [...] Thumbs up!. Thanks, guys for this freeware! User interface is not exciting, but who cares? It does the job, and that's it.
