Best free .dbx viewer/converter

[Grimy]

Hi, What are people using to open/view their old Outlook Express mail (.dbx) in Windows 7?
I am using MS Office 2010 Outlook (.pst).
I have used dbxtract in the past, but the site doesn't list W7 as a supported OS.
Cheers.

If you have a license, try it anyway?

Apparently this one can do it too: http://legroom.net/software/uniextract#formats

If you use Windows Live mail, it has the option to import .dbx files from Outlook Express. Simply import them.
File, Import Messages, Select the folder containing the dbx files, follow on screen instructions -- couldn't be much easier
See attachment.

Many other email programs have the same options to import dbx files.

I don't use Windows Live Mail. But could I use that alongside Outlook 2010?
Currently use Yahoo Xtra for my web mail.

Yep you can run them side by side - I have Outlook 2010 as my main mail, and Windows live 2011 for Gmail and live mail. ( To many mail accounts I think )

I often set up peoples Xtra or Paradise/Telstra in Live mail, works nicely

Only thing you have to do, I find when creating an account, manually enter the server details, and when asked (from memory) don't import your outlook unless you want to - it wont have any negative effect if you do, just means you will have a copy in live mail.

As always, many thanks to both of you.
Will have a fiddle a little later on (have rotten window surrounds to deal to first today).
Cheers.
