Also I've used the InnerMedia® Unzip Components to do this job ->and the error message is like "Zip file structure invalid". -> ->Do you know any type of app that does this job? This seems to be some ->kind of Outlook plugin that compress the DBX files and decompress in ->Run-Time. <snip> I'd rather believe that mails and attachments, among those some zipped, have been placed in a .dbx structure. The reason unzip fails would be the .dbx hull, then. So you'll have to peel the zips out of the dbx structure. You might use a perl Module (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Mail-Box/MANIFEST) for that, or a tool like Dbxconv (http://people.freenet.de/ukrebs/dbxconv.html), also mind Ansgar Wiechers' post on that topic. I'd believe you could then unzip the extracted files. Only guessing here, though; never did that myself.
