Outlook Express File Corruption Due To Increased Size

Microsoft Outlook Express is an E-Mail Client

, which comes with Microsoft Windows operating system from Windows 98 to Windows XP. Outlook Express stores all e-mails, news, folders, contacts and other personal data in the form of DBX files. Outlook Express creates a separate DBX file for every personal folder like Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items and more. As you receive or send e-mails, the size of DBX files gets increased and when it becomes larger than 2 GB, the file may become inaccessible due to internal or structural damage. In such situations, you can not access your valuable data from the DBX file and need to opt for Outlook Express Repair solutions to resolve the problem.
