Default Recover emails from several identities and consolidate in one dbx file

Is it possible to merge dbx files into one identity?

I have transferred my emails from MN to FL for 4 years now, but I keep
forgetting to record my identity, and have used several different ones. As
a result, I have at least 4 dbx files holding emails, some of which I
would like to keep and consolidate with my present identity. In this way,
I will delete the other identities to get rid of this confusion.


One way to do this is to use the OE Import utility, import from OE, from a
store folder. This takes you to a dialog where you can select the folder,
and then proceed with the import of whatever folders are there.

This does require that you know where those files are; log on to that
identity, then go to Tools, Accounts, Maintenance, Store Folder to see where
they are. Note that Explorer may have this folder helpfully marked as
Hidden.

Finally, pay attention to the size of these files. You do not want to
create a final DBX file that is too large. If you get to a gigabyte,
create a new folder and move most of the contents there.
