Microsoft
outlook 2016 is a very popular email client of our time. Its features supersede
the features of the older Microsoft outlook versions by a far margin. Some of
the features that make it better include a link to the cloud, more advanced
vector graphics, as well as an internalized email address among others.
What
is a dbx file?
A
dbx file refers to a folder created by Microsoft
Outlook 2016. Each set of data or files contained in this folder has
the .dbx extension, which distinguishes it from other file extensions. However,
sometimes this extension may go missing. In this case, Outlook will recreate
the extension. Remember, if the file is
corrupted and you still force it to open, you may cause your Outlook account to
malfunction.
Causes
of corruption of a dbx file
Before
we can advance to recovering a dbx file, we should mention a few things that
could lead to its corruption. First of all, the corruption may arise due to a
virus from malware. To prevent this, download a certified antivirus or upgrade
your existing antivirus program. Ensure that it is up to date. Secondly,
corruption could arise when you invoke the close program command. Note that Microsoft
outlook requires you to log out before closing the program or else you stand a
risk of corrupting your files accidentally. Last but not least, long large
sized files will definitely affect the speed of your outlook account and its performance.
Try to keep shorter mails to foster higher speed and performance.
How
to recover a dbx file
The
recovery process is not as complicated as you may have thought. It mainly
revolves around recovering the damaged dbx file, backing it up, and
transferring all the relevant data into a new folder. Recovering a Microsoft
outlook dbx file requires you to use a dbx repair tool. This tool will not only
repair your damaged file, but also restore it.
If
you are not able to do this by yourself, use the Microsoft
Outlook Support to get in touch with Microsoft support. They will
provide the essential steps required to recover your dbx files and much more.
Keep in mind that the Microsoft outlook 2016 customer support number (1-888-964-8356) and outlook support

all over the globe.
