Outlook Express (DBX File)

Outlook Express is an email client application for Microsoft Outlook. It is used to manage email and contact information and participate in newsgroups. As OE is also known as a news client application. Outlook Express is designed to use with any standard protocol such as: SMTP, POP3, IMAP. It is bundled with different versions of Windows from Windows 98 to Windows 2003 and is accessible with Window NT, Window 95 and Mac OS 9. In Vista, Express was updated by Windows mail and then again it updates to Windows Live Mail as a single software.

It contains different folders to store email messages in a particular mailbox such as Inbox, Outbox, Sent, etc. These folders contain its own DBX file to store messages in a particular mailbox folder like as inbox.dbx, outbox.dbx, sent.dbx, etc.  The DBX file can be copied to another location when the user needs to back up their mail or want to transfer their mail to another system.

Corruption issues occur in a DBX file:

• OE clatters and not start: This error occurs when Outlook Express crashes and failed to start it due to one or more than one DBX files being corrupt. Sometimes, it happens when DBX file is being marked as as Read only.
• Invalid Message Errors: This type of fault can occur if a message rule is used with wrong logic.
• No Specified Sender: This error would generate at the time of sending messages. When information is corrupt or missing from the user information for a respective account.  
• 550- Relaying not allowed: This error message is sent by the mail server not itself by Outlook Express, which means that when an SMTP mail server does not recognize user as an authorized user then it will reject your message and shown this error message.
• This error message occurs when a reply is sent to a deep thread in the newsgroup. Line 3 is known as Reference Header which contains ID of every message sent in the thread. Sometimes this line becomes too long, the OE adds a carriage return in its place removing some middle ID. This makes last message ID as invalid and blocked the reply.
