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.

Sounds good, but it didn't identify my camera as a drive. I use an Olympus C740UZ with an XD picture card, and Windows XP. Windows reads the camera as removeable disk E: but ZA failed to pick it up. I tried all the different processes suggested by ZA help, without success. Shame, because all the other reviews suggest it's a nice little bit of software. Try it anyway, you've got nothing to lose.
