None of the files are Read Only. I have a new folder created on my desktop -
Mail Backup. When I go to Import - I select Messages - OE 6 - Main Identity -
the I browse for the location (desktop folder). It looks like it ''s working
BUT what happened is it too the folders in OE6 and put them in the Mail
Backup Folder.

Create a new folder on your hard drive.
Copy the files from the CD to the new folder.

You must remove the Read Only attribute.
Highlight all of the dbx files, Properties, uncheck Read Only.
Files coming from a CD are Read Only.


Open OE, File, Import, File| Import| Messages| OE6| Message store
directory, then browse to the new folder.

I had to restore my PC. I have a CD with my old OE data on it in the form
of
.dbx files. I have copied them to the new location - Documents &
Settings/..../Local Settings/Application Data/Identities/.......

The only file that copied fine is sent items. None of the other folders
are
showing when I open OE. I have tried creating the folder in OE and all
that
does is created a duplication entry in Windows Explorer.

Can someone give the corect directions on how to do this? I would so
appreciate it.
