SDB

Files with the SBD extension contain the mime-type application/octet-stream
associated by Mozilla Suite, mainly with Mozilla Mail directory usage.
Mail folders are stored as two files, one with an MSF file extension and one with no extension ( INBOX ==> inbox & inbox.msf )

.sdb folders are subfolders from the principal / main mail folders iunder “Local folders”
and will have the name of its parent folder + .sdb
These main folders themselves have no .sdb associa, which is a kinda strage way of doing things.

==> in thunderbird .sdb file is actually a directory (sic)

readpst -r -o /mnt/data/pdat/mail/natch/ /mnt/data/pdat/mail/outlook-natch-backup.pst
