What would be really interesting is a program/script with which you can
extract the thousands of emails from an Outlook dbx file (a database file
where all the mails of an Outlook folder are saved in) into a html or txt
file... Recently I found a php script (don't know the adress anymore, have
to look up) to run offline that can extract mails. But because it's a class,
and I still don't know PHP like the back of my hand (should have been the
equivalent to "wie meine Westentasche"), so I still don't know how to use
it.
