资 源 简 介
Foxtract is a simple, free and open source Outlook Express e-mail message extractor that works with corrupted data files.
Sometimes Outlook Express has the bad habit of corrupting some of its data files (usually
this is one of your Outlook Express folders, often the Inbox if you never sorted your messages ;-). A typical situation is when it re-compacts its data file or when the size exceeds 2 Gb.
Some recovery tools try to rebuild or read from the tree structure that Outlook Express uses internally. This can sometimes be quite difficult if the tree is very damaged. Foxtract takes a different approach: it will scan the whole data file to find all message segments, which it will use to determine the head segment of a message. A single mail can be composed of several segments - every segment takes up to 512 bytes, so for instance a 3 Mb message will be composed of 6144 segments. Once the head segment is found, there is a good chance that the message can be retrieved.
