Default Folder.dbx

For a general page with info about the DBX file structure, you can review
the info here, which although not written by Microsoft, is fairly accurate
and contains most of the publicly know info about them:
http://oedbx.aroh.de/main.html

If you just want to "read" the folder, you can open it with Notepad or
Wordpad, although if you change a single byte, you will make the file
unreadable/unusable in Outlook Express. And you maybe will begin to
understand why so few people have any desire to work with it.

But it will not open "Floders.dbx" because
it is not a "message" file. :-(

Actually there are lots of inaccuracies there. Particularly with
folders.dbx.
