Option #2:

Ensure that you total mail inbox is not larger than 2GB. If it is, the Outlook will display this error message due to a inbox that is larger than Outlook can understand. To rectify this, create a new folder in the Outlook Inbox called “new inbox” or something along those lines, transfer enough files from your main inbox to the new folder,and then do the following:

• Click import and then click messages in the outlook express file menu

• select outlook express 6 from the options

• choose import from oe stored directory, which will enable you to choose your newly backed up emails and transfer them to your outlook in .eml format.

• browse to the folder where you created the newly backed up .dbx files and then click next

• select the selected folder option to tell outlook to use the folder you chose earlier and then once again click on the next button

Microsoft Outlook Express will now start importing all of the emails from the broken folder and it will import the excess files into the overflow folder.

Once you have done this entire process, delete the inbox.dbx file and createa new empty mailbox to send and receive the emails.

After this process the likelihood is that your mailbox will once again fit comfortably in the under 2GB range due to Microsoft Outlook Express optimizing your files and compressing them properly when you do the transfer.

Option #3:

• Download MiTeC Mail Viewer and install it.

• Once installed and extracted open the folder named Mailveiw

• Open the icon MailView to start the .eml transfering program

• In MailView, click File and then click on open

The files will be at:

C:\Windows\Application Data\Outlook Express\{GUID}
or
C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{GUID}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

• Select your old dbx file and choose the browse file to find the dbx file.

• Next, create a new folder on your desktop and name it anything, just be sure to remember what you called it and where it is stored.

• Back in the MailView right click on any of your email messages and then click check all, to select all of the emails the program has come up with
