Qu'est-ce qu'un fichier NCH ?
An NCH file contains folder structure metadata that corresponds to a specific mailbox folder used by Microsoft Outlook Express, a discontinued email client. NCH files do not contain actual messages; instead it references .DBX files that store the actual messages. NCH file acts like a map or index for how Outlook Express arranges mail folders.
Plus d'informations
Outlook Express references NCH files to interpret how a user's folders are laid out and linked together within the application. Examples of folder structure metadata NCH files include:
- Hierarchy information for mail folders (e.g., the parent-child relationship between folders like Inbox, Sent, and custom folders).
- Folder organization settings, such as the order and nesting of folders.
- References to corresponding DBX files, which hold the actual email messages.
Because the NCH file is essential to maintaining folder integrity, corrupting or modifying it can result in broken folder views or missing mail folder listings within the program. You can typically find NCH files in the Mail directory within the Outlook Express data folder. One common example is Folders.nch, which stores information about the user's folder hierarchy.
