[QUOTE="kin oath, post: 934512, member: 129750"] G'day folks I would dearly appreciate some specific help. Two solid days in and I still cannot read these .dbx files. The situation 1. I am trying to read my old OUTLOOK EXPRESS (not Outlook) emails. 2. I have them saved on my macbookpro desktop as OE folders. 3. I do not have access to any pc 4. I have followed every google link remotely concerned and have failed to find (a) a method that doesn't require access to a pc or (b) a method dealing with Outlook Express (instead of outlook) or (c) a method using an intermediary app like Eudora that (i) that works or (ii) is easily understood by a not completely stupid layman or (iii) describes the method in specific detail (so I am not just guessing what is actually meant) I am not concerned in getting my emails/addresses etc etc to work in mail, I just need to be able to read them in some text form or another. ....thanks for your consideration in this, I know it is not easy. The threads on this forum regarding OE seem to be the least answered recurring request for help (that I could see). [/QUOTE]
