See he www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 for message recovery techniques.

If your folders no longer have messages in them, then your only chance is
DBXpress via its extract from disk mode.

The dbx files have no file association and are not meant to. They do not
open in another program except for OE, and you can't just click on a dbx
file and have OE open it. It has to be part of the message store.
