DBX Converter

In an attempt to avoid losing crucial data, a number of less tech-savvy users simply copy the files they deem most useful and make backups on removable storage devices when making the switch from outdated machines with underperforming specs to more powerful computers running the latest version of their preferred operating system.

In doing so, the older device can sit unused for long periods of time, sometimes making it difficult to remember which settings had been initially backed up. With various programs such as Outlook Express becoming obsolete throughout the years, those who wish to restore their inbox folders may face the need for DBX Converter, an accessible utility meant to turn backups into more modern formats.

Once installed, users are greeted to a straightforward dual-pane interface showcasing a tree-style navigation panel on the left, accompanied by a comprehensive preview of the backup’s array of details on the opposite side for those who wish to determine whether the content is still of use before commencing further operations.

The program boasts an impressive variety of formats to match the latest version of Outlook or Thunderbird when restoring data, or to preview the messages on-the-go in PDF form, with the latter file type also being useful for completing existing archives of emails from now-defunct addresses.
