Default How can I recover my .dbx files?

If the import method into Outlook didn't work, then there is no way to
directly import from the OE message store. You could extract the messages
from the dbx files and them import those, but that would require a 3rd party
extraction tool (see www.oehelp.com). You could then drag those messages
into Windows Mail and then import them into Outlook from Windows Mail.

I don't know any other way to do it at this point.

Hello I recently installed Vista+IE7 , I used Outlook Express 6 to manage
my
Hotmail account.
I'd like to keep using my Hotmail with a fat client. I know that Outlook
can
manage it but I don't know how to import my old OE6 folders (I tried the
procedure described in Outlook Help with no success).
I tried with Windows Live Mail but it tells me that I need a subscription
to
MSN (???)

Pls help !!!

Max
