I am planning to move some old Outlook Express mailboxes from DBX format into Outlook PST format. Before starting, I would like to know what common issues people face during this type of migration. I have several DBX files including Inbox, Sent Items, and custom folders. My main concern is losing attachments, missing emails, broken folder hierarchy, or incorrect dates after conversion. Some of the files are also quite old and may have minor corruption. For those who have already completed a DBX to PST migration, what problems did you run into and what precautions should be taken before starting the process?
