What is an EDB file?

EDB files mostly belong to Exchange Server by Microsoft. An EDB file is an email database created by Exchange Server email and calendar software. This file is saved in a hierarchical storage format which organizes messages, attachments, folders, and message properties into tables; each with its properties. Windows operating system's File History and Search Indexer features use the same type of EDB file to store file changes and indexes (paths). Another type of EDB file contains email accounts used by Act! customer relationship management software. EstImage insurance assessment and repair estimation workflow management program saves a database in an EDB file.

How to open EDB files

You need a suitable software like Exchange Server to open an EDB file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your EDB file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a EDB file directly in the browser:.
