Stellar Phoenix Outlook Express Recovery

There are certain situations where you might discover that Microsoft Outlook Express downloads emails from the web server that are already in the Inbox or other folders. Outlook Express can not detect where the e-mail downloading has been stopped. When you try to open the message, the process may fail due to DBX file corruption. Such corruption may lead to critical data loss and you need to opt for Outlook Express Repair solutions.When you try to open the downloaded emails in Microsoft Outlook Express 5 or later versions, you might encounter the below error message:

“An Outlook Express store file may be damaged. Please use a utility such as ScanDisk to verify and repair any damaged files
Account Info
Error Number: 0×800C0155″

After the occurrence of this error message, all the emails stored in your Outlook Express folders become inaccessible.

Root of this problem

As mentioned in the above error message, you may face this situation due to corruption of the DBX files. DBX files are the main storage files of Outlook Express which actually store all your e-mails and other data. Outlook Express creates a separate DBX file for every personal folder like Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts etc.

In such critical situations, you need to carry out Outlook Express Repair by repairing and restoring the corrupted DBX files.

Resolution

The most important thing, which Microsoft Outlook Express lacks, is a built-in repair utility. When your DBX files become corrupted because of virus infection, improper system shutdown, hardware issues and other reasons, there is no method to repair and restore DBX files manually.

In such cases, you need to go for third party Outlook Express Recovery software. These software are specifically designed to methodically scan all damaged DBX files and extract optimum data from them. These software come equipped with interactive and simple graphical user interface and enable you to achieve quick and absolute recovery.

Outlook Express is an email client provided with Windows operating system. It stores data like e-mails, news etc. with .dbx extension on hard disks. There is a separate DBX file for each folder that is visible to us in Local Folders list of Outlook Express. These files reside in hidden folders known as Store Folders. In steps like disk formatting if these files need to be backed up, it is essential to follow a specific procedure (covered later in the article). If DBX file backup process is interrupted like due to unexpected system shutdown, they may get corrupt, which will require DBX Recovery solutions.

DBX files backed up on any storage media or local folders may not be recognized by Outlook Express after the process gets interrupted. DBX files may also get corrupt due to backup media errors and file system issues. In such cases, Outlook Express may fail to recognize these files with an error message as:

“Folder could not be displayed”

The correct procedure of backing up mail messages and restoring them back is as follows:

• We need to locate Store Folder first as Tools > Options > Maintenance > Store Folder.
• After this, the location can be used to access the folder through Run prompt (Start > Run).
• All the files of Store Folder can then be copied and pasted in a backup folder
• To import email messages from backup folder, we need use Import option of File menu

However to repair damaged DBX files from backup folder, we need to use third-party Outlook Express Recovery solutions. Outlook Express doesn’t provide any DBX Recovery tool to repair damaged DBX files. Thus, DBX repair and recovery tools are the only solutions to perform DBX repair.

These software analyze the damaged DBX file for corruption and restore them with original data and mail messages. These tools can be easily used because of their interactive interface and detailed documentation. Some of such tools can even repair .eml (.eml is the e-mail file extension for Windows Mail data files with Windows Vista onwards) messages and restore them in their normal format. These applications are designed as read-only and non-destructive tools. A user can use them in almost all cases of DBX corruption.

It is a common practice followed by users to have an anti virus program installed on their computer system in order to get an advance intimation of the viruses that are going to attack their system and ruin their files. But how many of you know that the anti virus program installed to protect your system may actually become a threat to your dbx and mbx files.

This may seem a very strange and ironical fact that most of the dbx and mbx file corruption occur not due to the virus but rather anti virus programs that are actually installed and made configured to make a scan of all incoming and outgoing e-mails. If you are thinking that you will not face this problem as your anti-virus program is a good one, then please correct it as this problem may happen to any of the program, even the best one is not untouched.
