Default Putting Them All Back?

As Frank indicates, it won't import NGs. See also point 4 he
www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 for message recovery techniques.

The account information is stored in the registry, so it won't import unless
you backup and restore the registry information.

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?
