505611 2006-12-10 16:37:00 They can be one of several types. Most likely though is that they're Outlook Express mail folders. Therefore try use Outlook Express to open them. Right-click, Open with... etc Greg (193)
505612 2006-12-10 16:46:00 Thanks Greg, but how do I open them?

I am trying to recover "saved" e-mail files from C:\Documents and Settings\Jack\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{E136064B-47C7-4B6B-8AD6-45CBABC728D9}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

I can get to the dbx file, but can't open them

505613 2006-12-10 17:22:00 What options do you get when you right-click the file in Windows Explorer? Greg (193)
505614 2006-12-10 18:34:00 You need to import them into OE, File/Import/Messages/OE6 or whatever/select store folder..etc or use DBXtract snoopy (74)
505615 2006-12-10 19:19:00 Only way that I know of is with DBXtract, as Snoopy says. Actually, DBXtract won't open them, it extracts all the emails from within that file so that you can view them in OE. FoxyMX (5)
