How can DBX folders be converted into PST with original mailbox structure?

I have some old Outlook Express DBX folders from an older Windows system. The emails are still important because they include client conversations and attachments. I want to move this data into Outlook, but I do not want all emails mixed in one place. The main concern is keeping the original mailbox structure like Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts, and other folders the same after conversion. Has anyone converted DBX folders into PST without losing folder order or email details? What should be checked before starting the DBX to PST conversion?

DBX folders can get messy if they are moved the wrong way. Outlook Express stores mail in separate DBX files, so the folder order should be handled carefully during conversion.
For this type of work. I would suggest trying GainTools DBX to PST Converter. It lets you select the required DBX file and convert it into PST format for Outlook. The useful part is that it keeps folders and email details like messages, attachments, and formatting during conversion. So Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts and other folders do not need to be mixed manually.
Before starting, keep a backup copy of all original DBX files. Also check one small DBX folder first and open the converted PST in Outlook. If the folder structure and attachments look fine, then convert the remaining folders. This avoids mistakes with important client emails.
