+.SH NAME
+undbx \- a tool to extract e-mails from Outlook Express .dbx files.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B undbx
+.RI [ options ] <DBX-DIRECTORY | DBX-FILE> [<OUTPUT-DIRECTORY>]
+.br
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBundbx\fR is a tool to extract, recover and undelete e-mails messages from Outlook Express .dbx files.
+.PP
+Email are extracted in individual .eml files.
+.PP
+When a target directory is specified, \fBundbx\fR will extract e-mails from dbx files found in this directory.
+Instead of providing a target directory, the usr can provide a target dbx file.
+.PP
+When no output directory is specified, \fBundbx\fR will extract emails in a subdirectory of the current directory.
+.PP
+In normal mode (not recovery), a message is extracted only if there is no corresponding .eml file in the destination directory.
+.PP
+On the other hand, if a .eml file exists in the destination directory and no corresponding mail is found in the .dbx file, the mail is considered deleted and \fBundbx\fR will delete this .eml file.
+This way, \fBundbx\fR can be used as an synchronization backup tool for .dbx files.
+.PP
+The file names of .eml files are composed by the From, To and Subjec: header fields.
+The modification time of each file is set to match the date specified in the Date field of the mail header.
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+.B
