Bruce,

I've followed your solutions for others so here's my scenario:

After trying to Import into OE my 18 .dbx files (one is Folders.dbx), I
get
the message: 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 files open.

I have copied the files (each are not Read-Only) to another folder named
email, checked off the Read-Only mode, hit Apply, then close it out.
After
checking properties again, the email folder says it's Read-Only again but
each individual file is not. If this is the problem, how do I correct it?

Your help will be much appreciated.

Hi Bruce

Thanks it worked! What I was omitting to do, was include the
FOLDERS.dbx
file. Once I included that it worked fine.

Many thanks.

news I have recently reinstalled Windows XP and would now like to
import
my
old
emails into Outlook Express. I have located the .dbx files but
when
I
use
FILE/IMPORT/MESSAGES/OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6/IMPORT MAIL FROM AN OE6
DIRECTORY/BROWSE

A message comes up saying:
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 have files open.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
