Email storage on Outlook Express is done on folders called DBX folders. When you open the Store Folder in Windows Explorer, you will see a set of DBX files. Every file contains messages from the appropriate message folder in Outlook Express. This includes Inbox.dbx, Outbox.dbx etc., and in addition to this a folder called Folder.dbx also exists. This is responsible for maintaining a structure of all the other folders.
One of the most widespread problems occurs when moving Outlook Express messages to another identity, Outlook Express or another computer. Most people forget to copy the Folder.dbx file during copying, and end up losing all the data present in these files.
