The same thing also applies on other Outlook Express folders. You should take good care of other folders as well. The Sent Items folder is a folder that keeps all of the sent emails of your Outlook Express account and its size gets increased whenever you sent a mail.

Outlook Express Backup Corruption and 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 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

Viral Irony: One of the major cause of Outlook Express file 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.
