Works but need to know a little DOS
gcarter1mwcDecember 28, 2014
Pros
Works beautifully and it's FREE! The Read Me file covers everything.
Cons
If you can't move around in DOS, look elsewhere.
Summary
Most of the DBX to EML programs are ridiculously expensive. This one is free. If you don't use the CMD line, get a friend who is comfortable with it and save some money.
Very useful

Pros
Does for FREE what other applications would do for 40-50 usd.
Cons
Works in a DOS-like environment with command lines.
Summary
It's the 21st century. A simple GUI is a must. At least a .BAT files with option explantions.
Does the job!!

Pros
It's FREE.
Cons
A little technically intensivfe for the average computer user. However, follow the instructions in the readme file (make sure once you're in a DOS window, you get to the directory that the extracted DbxConv ap is in) and it works like magic!!!
Summary
It works, and it's free!! Thank you Mr. Krebs!!!

Developer’s Description

By Ulrich Krebs

Cnvert mails from Outlook Express to nstandard mbox eml format.

This program will extract the messages from an Outlook Express (5.0 - 6.0) mailbox and convert it either to the standard mbox or the Outlook Express eml format. The advantage of saving your mail in mbox format is, that it's a plain text format, which can be read by many mail-clients. Converting to eml format is a convenient way to re-import the messages into Outlook Express.

The handling of eml export is a little bit smarter than the one offered by Outlook Express itself. Outlook Express will overwrite messages with same sender and subject, while DbxConv enumerates the messages, so you can be sure none is lost due to conversion.
