Default Import/Restore Not Working

I have a directory full of .dbx files from a backup made yesterday. When I
try and restore these folders to OE using the Import tool the only folders
that show up as available are Inbox, Outbox and Sent Items, even though there
are 15 others in the same directory. How do I restore these?

Default Import/Restore Not Working

For an import to work from a Message Store folder, you must also have saved
the file, "Folders.dbx" and all the DBX files must NOT have a Read Only
attribute set under File/Properties. Is that the situation in your case?

For more about backup/restore, see this link:
