Access Your DBX files--- Without Outlook Express!
Paul Schindler--- whom some of you may remember from WinMag or Byte--- sent along a note about "a program that would extract messages from an outlook express .dbx file." One Philip Rynes had told Paul about the tool, which is part of a pair of related freeware tools available at
Both are tiny freeware utilities that let you extract or manipulate the email stored inside an OE DBX file, without having to use OE at all. In fact, if a corrupted or misinstalled DBX file prevents you from accessing your OE email, one of these tools still may be able to get inside the file and grab what you need.

I have not used the above utilities, since I use Outlook 2000. Good luck.
an easier way is to create a folder on you desktop, call it emails, open it up, then drag your emailsfrom outlook into the new folder and drop them in, write them to a cd or floppy and take them where ever you want.
Make OE a half window, open the new folder in a half window, put them side by side, and start dragging and dropping, i believe you can select all (ctrl + A) and drag them all in one shot. note though, if you have multiple emails with the same name/ sender, it will prompt you to overwrite the other email.
