Partial restore.
 

Is there a way to do a partial restore of backed up OE saved folders? I
have 4 identities, and three are fine, one seems to have lost it's saved
folders (as I mentioned in a slightly earlier post) I would like to restore
only that identities' saved msgs.

Partial restore.
 

How did you back up your identities?

You should have a directory for each Identity. Go to File | Import |
Messages in OE and then choose from an Identity and then point to the
correct one. If that doesn't work, then choose by directory and point to
the correct directory.

If its just a few files, you can import them manually using the method in
the last paragraph on this page: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx

Thanks for your help.
Before I do this, do you know if the restoration will overwrite any existing
files, or add to them, or create new ones?
