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.

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.
