| Exchange Information Store Database | Microsoft | Database Files |
The EDB file type is primarily associated with the Microsoft Exchange Information Store Database. It is a digitally structured database format developed and used by Microsoft’s Exchange Server. It stores complete collection of email messages, attachments, contacts, calendar entries, and other important items belonging to particular accounts on the Exchange Server.
What's inside EDB file ?
The EDB file contains tables that consist of various detailed information about each item stored within the database. This includes flags for items like whether they are read or unread, their labels such as priority level or attachment presence, and storage blobs that indicates where files may be attached. All of this information is encoded using Exchange Server's proprietary binary format.
Similar File Extensions
Other database related files associated with Exchange Server are .CHK, .LOG, .STM, and .OAB.
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .EDB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .EDB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .EDB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .EDB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .EDB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .EDB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .EDB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .EDB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .EDB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .EDB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
