Ron,

I renamed the old Sent and Outbox files and imported all the dbx files.
Worked ok.

Thank you very much.

This also works:
a.. In Outlook Express click on Tools, Options, Maintenance tab...Store
Folder.
b.. Right-click on the location and Select All.
c.. Right-click on the highlighted text and choose Copy.
d.. Close Outlook Express before working with the message store files.
e.. In the Start, Run box right-click Paste. Click OK to open the store
folder.

I would also add (courtesy of Bruce Hagan):
In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options
Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.

: Hi Steve,

: Close Outlook Express First
:
: . Right-click the Pop3uidl.dbx file, and then click Rename.

: An even easier method when opening that page is to use the Tab to

Start/Run

: modified in Explorer by using Tools/Folder Options.
