JayBeee,

Find the folder that holds your *.dbx files. Copy the entire folder to CD (including folders.dbx). From the CD copy of the folder, you can import all the emails back into Outlook Express if you need to.

Denny,

Regarding this old message.  I have created an Outlook Express 6 folder under "My Documents "in XP.  Where do I copy/paste individual .dbx files so they show up in OE.  When I do a search for *.dbx files, the only ones that show up are in the folder I created.  In 98SE they are under Windows/applications.

Thanks,

JB

Try this Jaybee

To restore mail that you  have   received

Copy the .dbx files from the Windows\Application Data\Identities\hexadecimal_string\Microsoft\Outlook Express folder to another temporary location.

Start Outlook Express, click Import on the File menu, and then click Messages to start the Import Wizard.

In the Select Program dialog box, click Outlook Express as the e-mail program to import from, and then click Next.

In the next dialog box, click Import mail from an OE store directory, and then click OK.

Locate the temporary location of the .dbx files, and then select the files that you want to import. Outlook Express should begin to import the old mail and create or populate folders.

Note : This is for windows xp only. get back to me if doesnot work

I cannot find this folder. May the dbx files be kept elsewhere?

Regards,
