Outlook Express 6 - import/export
Had to export my messages prior to pc restore. Once completed, I am having trouble getting OE to import the messages back again. Using XP. Have tried File, Import, Messages, Selected OE 6, Next, Import mail from OE6 store directory, OK, Browsed to the dir containing my .dbx files, OK, then it gives me an error, "No messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open."
Any input?

Thanks, Denny. I tried several things found from your link, got one of the files to take, but not all of them. The import went further than before thanks to your suggestion to include the folders.dbx file. Have several other mail folders we are really hoping to recover. Need to research it further.760

Only 1 of the 8 exported dbx files is being imported by OE. I had no luck with the copy/paste routine. Any suggestions anybody?
