IMPORTING EMAILS INTO OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6
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.

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. "Bruce Hagen" wrote: Was XP an upgrade from another OS?
