Outlook Express recovery

Recovering Outlook Express email storage with Zmeil

We have developed Zmeil to automatically recover messages from the Outlook Express DBX storage in case of failure, or if the message had been deleted acidentally. Zmeil does not attempt to fix DBX file, but rather creates a copy of the messages the file contains. This way, Zmeil avoids the risk of inducing further damage to the DBX database. This text provides all the information you need to recover messages from Outlook Express DBX files.

Preparations

  1. Download Zmeil, then install it just like you do with a regular software. The evaluation version of Zmeil allows you to recover at most nine email messages to see what you can expect once you purchase a full version (get Zmeil for $39.95).

  2. Zmeil does not modify the files where the original emails are stored. However, you'd rather backup the original information anyway. Where does Outlook Express store all the emails?

Running Zmeil

  1. Start Zmeil
    • Click "Next>>"
  2. Specify Outlook Express database file (.DBX) to recover
    • Mark the message base file(s) you want to recover.
    • Set "Source Format" to "Outlook Express (.dbx)".
    • Click "Next>>"
  3. Select the output type
    • Select the appropriate output type.
      • "Export to Outlook" is only available for the Outlook (.pst) source.
      • If you plan to import the recovered messages back to Outlook Express program, select "Save .EML files", and specify the folder to recover the email messages to.
    • Click "Next>>"
  4. Recovery run
    • This stage is fully automatic - no action required on your part. Once the process is completed, Zmeil will switch to the next screen automatically.
  5. Select messages to recover
    • Mark messages to recover by clicking their corresponding checkboxes (use context menu, "Select everything").
    • Click "Next>>"
  6. Click "Exit" to close Zmeil.

If you need an illustrated tutorial on using Zmeil please refer here.

ZA works! I downloaded and tried at least 16 other programs, but none recovered a single image. ZA saved 159 photos (all of the images on the card, as far as I can remember). My 512MB SD card was corrupted when I plugged it into a card reader to make a backup. [...] Every search turned up fewer "new" programs to try. Tonight I downloaded 4 "new" programs (3 of them didn't work....) ZA works! [...] won't recognize any drives -- unless I'm logged in as Administrator. An undocumented shortcoming.
