Archived EMail--Outlook Express NB

[tom52]

Any computer experts out there ?
I archived a pile of old Email correspondence to disc.
They saved on disc as .dbx files.
What do I open them with so that they are readable ?
Help please

S'more of a question for Google than Buttlescutt. Howsabout this

why not just open them with Outlook Express, or am I missing something?

"or am I missing something?"

I'm reliably informed you may well be.

Why?

Here is one way:

Create a new folder in Outlook Express named "temp". Copy any message into the new Temp folder. Close OE and rename "Temp.dbx" in your OE store folder. Now copy the *.dbx to be imported into the store folder and rename it to "Temp.dbx". Open OE and rename the Temp folder if desired.
