The largest source of accidentally lost and deleted emails

June 13th, 2009

Microsoft controls a huge percentage of personal computing. Indeed one could say they have a finger in every software pie. This is brought forth by their ownership of Windows and all of the Microsoft windows applications. Their Office suite is the industry leader and as such all of the items bundled inside of Microsoft office control their respective software niches as well.

Bundled with every version of Windows comes Internet Explorer and bundled with Explorer comes Outlook Express, Microsoft’s free email client.
Bundled with Microsoft Office you will find Microsoft Outlook. This being a larger far more grand, installable email client.

What both of these applications share, aside from their Microsoft origins is an uncanny ability to louse up. Yes these are the two most widely used email systems in the world and they are fabulously famous for losing email. While it is true most emails are lost due to human error AKA accidental deletion, a huge percentage of the need to recover deleted emails is directly related to errors caused by Outlook and Outlook Express.

Reasons Microsoft email clients lose files

June 13th, 2009

Both of these email clients (a client is the side of the program on your computer) manage to prolifically lose emails, necessitating email recovery, for the following reasons.
1. For some reason when Outlook emails are compressed and unzipped the files suffer data loss. Lose enough 0s and 1s and before long the email you were saving will no longer open.
2. When an Outlook or Outlook Express email is downloaded, it is often scanned by a local antivirus program. These programs occasionally alter the structure of the message and as a result damage its files. The file then disappears and you are left wondering where it went.
3. Various versions of Microsoft Outlook have specific size limitations on how much mail can be archived in the folder. Should you exceed that limit files essentially spill out of the folder and are lost.
4. And, of course accidental deletion of emails. Everyone who has ever used a computer has accidentally deleted a wanted file. Emails are deleted more than any other file type because we tend to quickly scan over the latest mail and discard spam and other unneeded documents.

The differences in Microsoft email file designs

June 13th, 2009

Outlook and Outlook Express differ in that Outlook saves all of its messages to one large folder known as a .PST file and Express saves its messages as individual files using the .DBX extension. PST actually stands for personal storage table. When files are lost inside the PST folder it is akin to their being dumped from a database. The PST folder is actually a small writable and readable database. When Outlook Express DBX files are lost they are lost just as any other popular file type might be lost. The recognition data attached to each DBX file has been damaged or removed. These differences make the process of mail recovery for each program entirely unique to one another.

What can be done to counter the frailty of Outlook email programs

Having established that these two email clients are necessary for most computing and having further noted that these two are born troublemakers, what should we do to use these without fear of losing precious communications?

To effectively use Outlook and Outlook Express we will need to place on our computer desktop a third party program for recovery of files from both of these email clients. PST and DBX file recovery is made possible with Outlook and Outlook Express recovery programs from Disk Doctors.

Disk Doctors makes a program for both of these clients and bundles them together at one low price.

Not only will this powerful and intuitive software recover deleted emails on Outlook, it will also facilitate corrupt inbox repair. Outlook repair requires a program built precisely for that purpose and for that purpose there is no finer program than Disk Doctors PST Repair.

The most simple and direct solution for Outlook recovery

Outlook Express on the other hand is quite different in that the process of sending and receiving mail is the same as with Outlook via the standard header set up, but the means of storing files is far less sophisticated. And as such this is the major cause of Express’ limitations. Still, when Outlook Express DBX Recovery is needed, the solution is the same as with Outlook. That answer is to use Disk Doctors DBX repair. This is the ultimate tool for Outlook Express Repair.
Disk Doctors DBX repair will search an entire computer hard drive in seconds to find damaged or deleted Outlook Express DBX files. DD DBX Repair will also repair inbox problems and handle every need for mail recovery.

The software will scan for any lost or damaged files, repair inbox applications, and allow recovery of data to either external storage or a newly created PST folder. Another great feature of these programs is their unique import and export function. Just as when using any database client, Disk Doctors Outlook Repair will allow you to import tables directly into the PST file saving you plenty of work when reloading the lost and subsequently found emails. Outlook Express Recovery is equally simple, as once you have selected the files you wish to resave Disk Doctors DBX Repair will load them to any location you desire.
