To repeat Diane's comment: Outlook Express does use a .pst. Outlook Express
and MS Office Outlook are two different programs. This news group addresses
issues with Office Outlook. You might find the help you are looking for in
and Outlook Express newsgroup.

sorry, i change .bak to .dbx and use "Macallan Outlook Express Extraction"
tool ,"Recovery for Outlook Express" to restore, but i cann't restore
anything.

so would you like to give me a tool's name , so i can restore this .bak
file.

by the way, i am not true that the .bak file can rename to .dbx file,
because i see .bak is .pst's backup file. but this .bak rename .pst ,
outlook and scanpst cann't not fix and input this file .

how can i do? thank you very much!
