Thanks, Steve;

However, that worked with a couple of things but when I tried to get my
news accounts back I was given a amessage about "no other newsgroup
could be found" and OE wouldn't even ask if any files were present
anywhere; same problem in trying to retrieve the mail account. What
went wrong?

OE won't import newsgroups. Their content is considered ephemeral.
