For reasons I don't understand, and don't concern my
question, I have lost a small .dbx file. That file exists
on a back-up disk which holds all my .dbx files which I
exported to it a month or so ago. Now I'd like to import
that missing .dbx file from my back-up disk into my mail
storage place on my computer, so that I can then read the
5-10 messages in that file. I don't need to do anything
with the several hundred other .dbx files on that back-up
disk.

Alternatively, I'd like to print the .dbx file from the
back-up disk so that I have the information contained in
that .dbx file easily available.

Suggestions appreciated.

If you want to view the contents of a dbx file, follow the instructions for
Single Folder:
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/backup/partial.htm

You will have to get the folder into OE in order to print.

See the last paragraph on this page to import an individual dbx file:
www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx

You can't print the contents of the file without first opening it in OE.
You could then use my OETool program (free www.oehelp.com/OETool/) and the
View Header List button to generate a CSV or HTM file from the message list
of that folder.

Using the method suggested by Ron Sommer and Steve Cochran,
I was able to move 3 out of 4 dbx files from a back-up disk
into my current OE mail storage location. All the messages
in those three files are now available.

However, I had a problem with 1 of the 4, and I've posted
that as another thread, entitled "Elusive .dbx file".

Thanks guys for your assistance.
