The results are the same. It copied TO the Mail Backup folder.... not
FROM.
Anything else I can do or try? Would Outlook work the same way. I'll do
almost anything not to lose this data/mail.

Select OE store folder, not Main Identity.

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.
