I need to "retrieve" some old email messages from a DBX file, but don't know
how to accomplish this. Can someone give me a step-by-step so I will be
able to read these messages? Thank you in advance...much appreciated.

Outlook Express is the *reader* for dbx files. Did you lose messages? If so,
what folders, and how and when did you lose them. (i.e. After compacting?).

See the info in the last paragraph on this web page for a quick and easy way
to "insert" a single DBX file into Outlook Express. For info, DBX file are
only readable by Outlook Express, unless you wish to purchase a extractor
that will remove the messages as EML files. (which again, will open
natively in Outlook Express)
