Copy all the dbx files to a blank directory on the hard drive. Then clear
their read only attribute and then use File | Import | Messages in OE and
point to that directory.

I had backed up all of my OE6 accounts, mail, etc so I could wipe my OS
and free it of a virus and some especially tough adware that wouldn't
go. But now that that bit of dirty work is done, can someone tell me
how to re-install all those backed up files? Thanks.
