Microsoft Outlook Express - Overview

Outlook Express is a somewhat different application Microsoft Office Outlook email client. It is a simplified version of Outlook and as such is offered free bundled with Internet Explorer.  Outlook proper comes as part of the Microsoft Office suite for Windows. Outlook uses .pst files.  Express generally uses .dbx files for storing emails.

Outlook Express stores its email messages in different formats depending on the version.

  1. Outlook Express v 4, which shipped with Windows 98, stored messages in *.mbx files.
  2. Outlook Express v 5, which shipped with Windows 98SE, switched to *.dbx files, with a separate file for each mailbox folder.
  3. Outlook Express v 5.50 shipped with Windows 2000
  4. Outlook Express v 5.5 shipped with Windows Me
  5. Outlook Express v 6, which is included with Windows XP, also stores messages in *.dbx files.
