Default how can I open an Archief file (

In OE: File | Import | Messages. Select Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and
Import from an OE6 Identity and point to the identity that contains the
messages.

Note: If you did not include Folders.dbx in your backup, the import process
will not work and you will have to do each folder manually.

See this about restoring individual dbx files:
http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1

But you do not want to keep them in the Inbox. After you get them back, move
them to user created folders.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

And backup often.
