Put the backup Inbox on the Desktop, and rename it to Temp.dbx.

Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on the
Desktop, (Temp). Open the new folder and then close OE. Go to Windows
Explorer and locate the Message Store folder for your OE identity, but
don't
open it. Click on the Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop in the
right hand pane to the OE store folder in the left pane. Prompt - "Do you
want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.

I did my back up ok....it includes my inbox. But somehow, I deleted all
of
my inbox from the program. Now I'm trying to copy my Inbox from the
backup
disk back to the program by dragging and dropping with Win Explorer,
but
can't seem to see where I should drag this to.

Thanks (again!)

That is /not/ the correct path. Check it again.

I followed your suggestion - Show Hidden Files and Folders is
checked
and I
still can't see Microsoft/Outlook Express once I get to the GUID
(long
numbere).

Appreciate your continued help. Hope this form of replying gets
through.

Always reply to your original thread (Back up OE), please.

OE Tools Options Maintenance Store folder will reveal the
location
of
your current Identity's store
(http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain). Write it
down.

In WinXP, Win2K and Win2K03, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are
by
default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must
enable
Show
Hidden Files and Folders under Start Control Panel Folder
Options

View.

Thanks for help 3/27 re OE Back Up. I reviewed all of the
links
you
provided but in Windows Explorer, I still can't get beyond the
GUID
which,
i learned, is the long number after Identities in the Path. I
found
the
path Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder.

I still cannot get to Microsoft and then Outlook Express in
Win
Explorer
paste

What did I do, or what should I be doing?
