We have a client who has been using Outlook Express for their business email accounts, recently the "Sent" items DB became corrupt and we have tried everything that we can think of to recover the data. We have used close to 15 different tools to attempt a recovery including purchasing DBXpress, sadly every tool we have tried is only able to recover emails prior to 2006 and nothing newer.
Are there any company's out there that will work with the .dbx file itself and perform a repair/recovery on the data?
Sadly it looks so far to be completely corrupt, but the batch file to extract the dates was intended just as a preliminary check.
Has the user emptied her recycle bin since this occurred?
Just a remote chance that the corruption occurred during a routine compacting process. The DBX files are deleted to the recycle bin with the *.BAK extension and sometimes provide the means to restore a DBX file that has gone bad.
I would suggest that in the meantime the user creates a brand new folder and moves all new incoming emails into it to keep the "Sent Items (1).dbx" empty for now.
412 MB isn't large for a DBX file. At least not large enough to be anywhere near the file size where DBX files can begin to cause problems.
