I have transferred my OE6 settings (addresses and messages) to a new computer

a new folder and I can't create a message rule to transfer incoming mails to
a specific folder. All this worked perfectly on the old computer (running
W2000, the new one has XP, but both OE6), so I suspect something going wrong
in the transfer - but what?

Might help if you enlighten us as to how, exactly, you transferred the
addresses and messages.

Alias

Documents and settings/user account/local settings/application data/identities/(identity)/microsoft/Outlook Express. This last item I imported as oe6 store directory into the new computer's OE.
Oddly enough, it also imported all subfiles of Inbox, but not Inbox itself.
I wonder if I should delete the whole lot and try again - perhaps I did
something wrong during the process of importing, when I found I had 2
inboxes, 2 outboxes etc? But how do I reverse the process in the most
efficient manner possible (not leaving traces of identities which are not in
use?
