Default importing .dbx problem

Have you tried " How do I import a single mail folder (*.dbx)? " on the same
Web site?

Hello all

Sorry to bring this up again, but....

A friend of mine lives in France and London and travels between the two
places regularly. To make sure her emails etc are backed up, she saved
her important files in France as .dbx files on a zip disk. However, when
she tried to import them onto her laptop here, (using XP Home SP2 and OE6)
the system seems to have done what it was supposed to but the files do not
show up anywhere in OE.

I have followed the instructions given elsewhere in this group as at
http://www.insideoe.com/faqs/how.htm#importdbx, made sure the folders file
was included in the files to be imported and still nothing. I tried
importing the (French) address book, saved as a .wab file, and that worked
perfectly.

No matter which way I try to import these files, they appear to be
accepted but do not show up. I have closed OE and restarted it and even
re-booted the computer, but it made no difference.

I do not think the language difference is a factor though I am prepared to
be corrected on this. Any light that can be shed on this would be a great
relief
