DbxConv Description

DbxConv is a simple command-line utility which is able to extract messages from Outlook Express and convert it to the standard MBOX or EML format.The perks of a command-line appWhile most users prefer working with graphical interfaces, some of them stick to apps that can be launched in a Command Prompt dialog, since a simple task like format conversion can be accomplished in only a few steps. Another advantage of command-line tools is that they do not require installation, so the program files can be saved to any location on the hard drive, from where you can run the executable. Moreover, you can copy DbxConv to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any computer with minimum effort. What's more, the utility does not add new entries to the Windows registry, Start menu, or any other area of the hard drive. Supported extensions and other available tweaks At initialization, you can view a list of available options and the usage pattern. It is possible to save all messages to MBOXO, MBOXRD or EML format, as well as make the tool always add a double newline at the end of a message and to ignore the case when replacing the "From" field. Plus, it can apply the send and receive dates as timestamps, and overwrite existing messages. Performance and conclusion As expected from a command-line utility, DbxConv is very light on system resources, running on low CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and carries out a task rapidly and error-free. We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation. All in all, DbxConv offers a simple solution for MBOX and EML conversions. Reviewed by Elena Opris, last updated on July 30th, 2014
