File extension .SBD

| Mozilla Mail Subdirectory Format | Mozilla | Data Files |
The SBD file extension is used by the popular e-mail client Mozilla Thunderbird. It stands for “subdirectory”, and is used as an index to store various data such as contacts, messages, attachments, and folder hierarchies. The file contains references to other files with an HTML format inside an SBD folder. When a message or folder is accessed in Thunderbird, the referenced files are read from the.SBD folders.
The SBD file contains references in the HTML format that provide information on the order of files and directories. It also contains the most recent version of messages which have been deleted or sent by Thunderbird. This ensures that users can easily recover important emails and contacts as these references allow the files to be quickly located. Additionally, SBD files are responsible for maintaining the folder hierarchies within Thunderbird to ensure that all files are organized correctly.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions used by Mozilla Thunderbird include DBX, PAN, MSF, MSG, and CNT. DBX is used to store messages in individual folders, PAN stores news messages, MSF stores index for folders, MSG stores individual messages, and CNT is used for storing contacts.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SBD) 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 .SBD 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 .SBD 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 .SBD 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 .SBD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SBD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SBD 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 .SBD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SBD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SBD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
