Windows dbx to eml converter for OE To Windows Live Mail Migration

Many reasons can be attributed for the migration of Outlook Express users to other platform but one thing can be sure it all started with Windows Vista. When Vista was launched those using Outlook Express on XP can’t use it anymore when they upgraded to this OS. Microsoft provided an alternative to Outlook Express in form of Windows Live Mail for Vista so those who wanted to shift their old mailbox to Windows Live Mail needed a dbx to eml converter which can easily convert their Outlook Express Emails to Windows Live Mail format.

 

 

Reason No 1 For the Outlook Express Migration 

Windows Vista did not matched up to the expectation and hence was rejected by the masses. Microsoft soon launched Windows 7 which was easier and user friendly.  In this same time period Windows Live Mail was superseded by Windows Mail and in essence both are same but Windows Mail comes with added functionality. The requirement did not changed since those migrating from OE still needed a dbx converter that can convert dbx emails to Windows Mail eml format.

  Reason No 2

The final nail in the coffin was made when Microsoft stopped providing the update for the XP Operating System. At this point of time there was no choice but to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 and use Windows Mail or Outlook for email conversation. This was the point when there was huge spike in need of dbx to eml converter tool that helped the user to make the transitions.

 Reason No3

Last reason I believe is many instances of database corruption when OE either ask user to compress the dbx files or did it automatically which in many cases resulted in corrupt dbx files and become no longer accessible to the users and only thing they can do is rely on their backup or use recovery software.
