[TheForge] OT- for computer geeks

[Darrell]

Phlip,
Daniel's process will work to view Emails but will not help to save them.
After experimenting, it looks like the best bet is DBExpress. Cost is $5.00.
The free DBExtract seems to have been replaced.

showing

that,

> 2. Right click on "Local Folders" in the folder list, select "New Folder",
> and enter a name of your choosing.
> 3. Now, right click on the folder you just created and select
"Properties".
> In the window that pops up, you be able to see the location of the file
> associated with that window (if it's too long to fit on the screen, and it
> probably will be, you can click on the name and scroll across using your
> left and right arrows. Make a note of the complete file address.
> 4. Now copy the .dbx file you are interested in to the same directory as
the
> folder (actually a .dbx file itself) you just created.
> 5. Close Outlook Express 6.
> 6. Delete the file/folder you just created. Rename the .dbx file you are
> interested in and give it the same name as the file you just created.
> 7. Open Outlook Express 6. When you open your new folder, you will now
open
> and view the .dbx file you are interested in.
>
> I hope this helps. Good luck.
