Ron and Bruce. The transfer of folders from one OE Store to a second worked
without a hitch, I am so relieved to report. Thank you so much for the
attention to this question.

Just because you can't import from another Identity doesn't mean that you
have to create and replace folders.
Do an import from a store directory.
Use file, import, messages, outlook express, Import from an OE store
directory, browse to the old store folder.

You deleted the identity but still have the message store with the dbx
files in it? Strange, but then this is Outlook Express. So, import from
another identity is out of the question? You will have to do the following
for all the folders/files you want.

Open the store folder for the old ID and drag the dbx files that you want
out of it to the Desktop. Rename any folder that has the same name as a
folder you have in the New ID.

Eg: You have a new Inbox. So if the Inbox.dbx from the old ID is one you
want, rename it to something like Old Inbox.dbx.

Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on the
Desktop. In this case, Old Inbox. Open the new folder and then close OE.
Go to Windows Explorer and locate the Message Store folder for your OE
identity, but don't open it. Click on the Desktop and drag the file from
the Desktop in the right hand pane to the OE store folder in the left
pane. Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.

I made the mistake of deleting my original ID after creating the new one.
I
have the Store Folder in tact with all folders, but the identity was
deleted.
Now what? Am I out of luck, Bruce?

the
folder tree.

In the new identity: File | Import | Messages. Select Microsoft Outlook
Express 6 and Import from the old identity. When you see the option, you
can
choose Selected Folders.

I have created a new Identity in OE. I would like to 'attach' several
of my
prior ID's folders to my new Identity in OE Store Folder. How do I do
this?
