I don't understand what you are seeing. MS Outlook Express stores all of its
email in .dbx folders. The .eml extension refers to a text file containing a
single email message, and there is no conversion done. You may save a given
email from MSOE to an .eml file, but that does not alter the .dbx file in
any way.
Windows Live Mail stores email messages as .eml files; one per email
message. If you ever installed Windows Live Mail, it likely imported your
MSOE messages. But all your MSOE .dbx files should still be intact. But, if
you have installed Windows Live Mail, and set it up to access POP3 email
accounts, beware of removing it before doing some housecleaning. It probably
took over from MSOE, and any email downloaded after installation will be in
the WLMail message store. You will want to move those messages to the
"Storage folders" before uninstalling Windows Live Mail. From there, you can
find them in the file system, and drag them back into MSOE. When you are
satisfied that all email you want to save is back in MSOE, then you can
safely uninstall Windows Live Mail.
