Here's my issue.

My friend's DBX files became corrupted (for whatever reason) and he
seemingly lost all his mail. It may have been just the pointer that was the
problem as I was able to restore most of his messages from the DBX files in
his "Outlook" folder.

Everything seemed to be better, but although I got about 90% of his messages
back, there is still a block of them missing. I beleieve I may have found
them in the *.BAK folders in his recycle bin. I retrieved & renamed them and
am now tyring to import them to a separate folder in OE, but it's not letting
me. I created new folders in OE to match the names of the .DBX files I want
to add and I've also checked to make sure they're not read-only.

When I try, I get the message that "No messages can be found in this folder
or another application..." etc.

Can someone advise what I'm doing wrong or how I can get around this? Thanks
in advance.
