Default Retrieving - Deleted Identiy

"Chris" wrote in message
rvers.com...
I accidentaly deleted one of the identities in OE6. I can see all the
files are still there, under:

c:\documents and settings\username\local settings\application
data\identities\{xxxxxxxx-48dc-42af
-8f45-2f48c0fexxxx}\microsoft\outlook express]

Is there any way I can restore the identity? I know I can create a new
account and import the email messages from the *.dbx files, but I want to
restore the accounts in that profile, the pointeers to all the newsgroups
I was following, etc.

Is that possible?



Make a new identity and then use File | Import. When you get to where it
wants to know what identity to import from, don't try to select an identity.
Choose the option on the bottom to import from an OE store directory and
click Browse. Navigate to where the old DBX files are. After making sure
the messages imported correctly you can delete the old DBX files.
