Default Importing DBX

I tried importing into OE after copying the DBX from the CD to my hard
drive and made sure the 'read only' atrribute is not selected but I get this
error message:

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 MAY HAVE FILES OPEN.

Default Importing DBX

Did you copy the entire message store folder, or selected dbx files? If
Folders.dbx was not included, the import process will not work.

If that is the case, see the last paragraph under Outlook Express and the
link within to restore individual dbx files:
