Anyone know how to read "Floder.dbx"?

TIA

Reading any DBX file is next to impossible. And Folders.dbx more so.

What are you trying to accomplish?

You can't. It is basically the *brain* that keeps the other folders in order
and is needed to import your store folder.

I want to make an application that can read "Folders.dbx",
"understand" the folder structure and store it.
The application would be used to recreate the folder structure
if needed (write to the "folders.dbx" file).
Understanding the format of that file is my chanllenge.

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.

They just changed the URL. The information is still there, but its not
going to help with the folders.dbx file structure.

Actually there are lots of inaccuracies there. Particularly with
