Single folders do not import. Use this workaround.

In Windows Explorer, click on the file and drag it to the Desktop. Open OE
and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your desktop.
***Copy a message from any folder to the new one. You MUST do this.*** Close
OE. Go back to Windows Explorer and Click Desktop and drag the folder from
the Desktop to the OE store folder that you clicked on to reveal the .dbx
files. Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.

I had a "saved" folder under local folders that disappeared but I know I
did not delete it. I have been trying to retrieve a similar file from the
"stored" area.

Any idea what caused this and how I can get it back. I managed to locate
a similar file name from the "stored" location but I have no idea how it
got there and I am having some difficulty in having OLE import it.
