sorry, i change .bak to .dbx and use "Macallan Outlook Express Extraction"
tool ,"Recovery for Outlook Express" to restore, but i cann't restore
anything.

so would you like to give me a tool's name , so i can restore this .bak file.

by the way, i am not true that the .bak file can rename to .dbx file,
because i see .bak is .pst's backup file. but this .bak rename .pst ,
outlook and scanpst cann't not fix and input this file .

how can i do? thank you very much!
