You checked the recover mode option, which is only for manually deleted
messages. If you want to take those messages and get them back into OE,
then rename *.txt *.eml and then you can drag them in and drop them.

Normally DBXpress is NOT run with recover mode checked, so if you were
trying to recover lost messages, then run it again with recover mode
UNCHECKED.

You can Insert a .txt file into a new message ant then save it to a
folder
in OE. Can I ask what your ultimate goal is?

Does anybody know of a way to convert text or similar file types
into .DBX files? Running windows 2k and oe6. Help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks for responding again Bruce,

I was able to extract my lost emails using DBExperss (thanks
to your suggestions), but now the lost mails are a large colletion of
text files, so I'm looking for a way to re-incorporate them back into
my inbox. Alos, I've heard that the inbox has a 2GB size limit... Do
you know if this is true?

Thanks again,

Taylor
