Default Milo: restoring identities and folders from dbx

A while back, someone showed me how to put all my OE identities
under MyDocuments so that I could easily back them up.

Sure enough, I eventually had a hard drive crash this week.
Now I've got these identities with all their .dbx files under them
for their different folders...but I have no idea how to set up OE to either
recognize or import them each.

Any help in an answer would be appreciated! I've got all those files
sitting there and I'm sure there must be a way to turn them into accessible
identities in OE so I can log on and see my stuff. Thanks.

Default restoring identities and folders from dbx

I'm not sure what they had you do, but backing up the registry, which has
your idebtities along with their associated programs such as Rules, is easy
enough without moving anything.
