Import DBX files into Outlook 365 and Other Versions of Outlook
Given below article represents how to Import DBX files into Outlook 365 in a simple way.
What do you figure out by the word “Email client”?
Casually we can say that email clients are the applications which provide facility to send and receive email messages with attachments.
Now in the market there are plenty of email clients that stay and go from time to time or are discontinued.
Hence, Microsoft is one of the companies which has both types of email application, those which maintains there shares in market as well as those which are now discontinued.
One of them is “Outlook Express”, the 20th century’s most popular email app. That creates “DBX files” but now it is a terminated email application.
.dbx AKA DBX file stores email messages with attachments. You can’t just open it by double clicking on it. You’ll need either Outlook express app or convert it into another file format i.e. import DBX files into Outlook 365.
Here, another question arises, why use Outlook or Office 365?

Organization and professional users are switching their entire email client data to Outlook 365.

User Query to Import DBX Files into Outlook 365

“Hey, I’m Christoff from South Iceland. I have some .dbx files in my laptop, I want to know what’s in it. And I only use the Outlook 365 app. Could you help me find a reliable solution?”
Queries like this also give me the ideas to write something and contribute my knowledge to others.
Importing one file format to another is never an easy task.
Then, why is it mandatory to do so? Obviously because there is no other option available.
Not every email client supports every file format.

Doesn’t it sound like putting everything on stake?
