How to recover messages.
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 to Windows Explorer and
locate the Message Store folder for your OE identity, but don't open it.
Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to the OE store folder.
Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.

I copied a mail folder with about 10 unread emails in it using cut and
paste
to the desktop. My computer crashed but I had backed up the mail folder
file
on the desktop to another computer. When I try to restore the folder with
the
emails using OE6 on the other computer nothing shows up. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Peter
