If you are importing individual dbx files and not the entire message
store, the import will fail since Folders.dbx was not included. You have
to move them manually now. Do this for each folder.

Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your
desktop. Open the new folder and then close OE. Go back to Windows
Explorer and Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to the OE
store folder, (unopened), that contains the .dbx files. Prompt - "Do you
want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.

The ones I am currently thinking of are on my desktop, but I have tried
from other places.

How do I get a Folders file in with the one I am trying to import? (I
fished it out of Local SettingsApplication Data etc., renamed it then
formatted the disk).

Cheers.

Where are these messages? If they are on a CD, you have to copy it to
your HDD first and remove the Read Only attribute for the dbx files.
Also, if you did not include Folders.dbx, the import will fail.

I try to import messages to OE and it doesn't seem to matter which
computer I am on or which identity - even a newly made identity - I try
to importr to, or even which message files I try to import, or where I
try to import them from (though I always try to import .dbx files) I get
an error message reading:

"No messages can be found in this folder or another application is
running that has the required files open.
Please select another folder or try closing applications that may have
the files open."

The only application that sounds like it might be referring to is OE,
but I can't imagine a way of importing without having OE open.

What can I do?
Cheers.
