yep, that was it - tedious but worked.... is there any type of spamfighter
that works well with OE - I tried the spamfighter and that's what screwed it
up in the first place - thanks for the help

Try manually importing the dbx files using the method in the last
paragraph relative to OE on this page: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx Also
see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

HELP! OE 6 would not open at all - I finally got that fixed - and of
course no messages or folders - I had already backed all of that up (and
they actually were still in the ID folder) but when I import the folders
thru File/Import - it only imports 1/2 of the folders - it goes all the
way to the folder BEFORE Inbox and then stops - it doesn't import
anything after the file before Inbox. I've tried deleting inbox and
reimporting (using OE Quick Backup) but no luck - can anyone help me out
here?

thanks!
Pam
