Outlook Express DBX files can be imported in different e-mail clients, such as Outlook Express itself, MS Outlook, Windows Mail etc. The process allows you to easily access and view all the e-mails that are stored in the particular imported DBX file. However, if the file is corrupt that can prevent the folder from being imported too. At this point, a suitable backup can work restoring the lost data, if available and is valid. If no clean backup is present, you are recommended to use an Outlook Express Recovery tool that can scan and then repair the corrupted OE file.

For instance, consider a scenario when you try to import an Outlook Express created DBX file in Outlook using 'Import Internet Mail and Addresses' option of Import and Export wizard. The import process fails and you receive an unexpected error indicating that the file is corrupt. Additionally, if you try to duplicate the file import behavior with another e-mail client, similar kind of issue is observed. You notice that the size of DBX file to be imported is above 2 GB.

Cause

The above error can occur if the DBX file is corrupt. Since the DBX is above 2 GB in size, the file is damaged due to file oversize issues. Outlook Express imposes maximum file size limitation of 2 GB to its DBX files.

Solution

To solve the above problem, you can try any of the solutions discussed below:

1-If you can open the corrupted DBX, you can try copying the desired e-mails to a new DBX file
2-If the file is completely inaccessible, you can rename or delete it provided a complete backup of the e-mails is available
3-Outlook Express doesn't provide any repair utility for DBX files. For this reason, the only solution to repair the corrupted file in case of unavailability of backup is to use a third-party solution that can Recover Outlook Express. These tools are efficient Outlook Express Recovery utilities that scan and retrieve inaccessible e-mails from a corrupted DBX file by applying risk-free algorithms.
