I've solved the address book issue.
Now I still have the problem with the email messages (inbox, outbox etc)
I've tried creating a new identity and then copying all the folders into
the
new store folder, then I deleted the "folders.dbx" file. then no luck
though. I've tried importing the old data also. It says it completes fine
but tthere is no data. The old folders show approx. 8 Megs in them yet
nothing comes over?
Any help?

OS- WINXP PRO sp2, Outlook Express 6, Fresh reinstall, Cannot import
messages or caddress book.
Do to serious problems with system I had to reinstall windows. I have it
configured in a multi drive configuration with the Operating System
(WinXP
Pro) on drive C, the Programs on drive D, the Data on drive E, so the
Documents and settings folder etc is on E. This is the same configuration
as prior to the reinstall. I ghosted everything over to another storage
drive prior to the reinstall so I have everything backeup pretty well.
Problem:
I cannot seem to get outlook Express 6 to import the emails or the
address
book from the old setup. It says it completes importing the "messages"
fine but there is nothing in the mail folders afterward. As to the WAB it
shows an error whenever I try to import it.
I have tried many different ways to do this. Could it be a problem with
identities? I do not know exactly what the old identity could have been.
