Tried what you suggested. No luck. Same result.
Still hoping for a solution.


You can use these programs to extract messages from the DBX files:

DBXtract ($7): http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx
There is also a free alternative to DBXtract, though not for DBXpress:

DBXpress: ($25) http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/Default.aspx

DBXpress can also extract whatever deleted messages are still anywhere on
the drive.

Hey,
I was reading your thread bc i was having VERY simular issues as you were
today,(though it was only my inbox that wasn't importing, all my other
folders did, so it was probly operator error LOL) and i followed a link that
P A sent and it WORKED!!! TY P A : )
I just wanted to post it for you techie in case our situations were the same;

How do I import a single mail folder (*.dbx)?




Create a new folder in Outlook Express named "temp". Copy any message into
the new Temp folder. Close OE and rename "Temp.dbx" in your OE store folder.
Now copy the *.dbx to be imported into the store folder and rename it to
"Temp.dbx". Open OE and rename the Temp folder if desired. (see also: The
Partial Backup)

The "funny" thing about it was I wasn't paying attention to what I was
doing, and thought I missed a step, but when I went to open my mailbox my
inbox had my restored mail in it!! I had to do a double take.......... good
luck, i seriously feel your pain, i was working on this most of the day- UGH!!

thanx to everyone for all of your wonderful knowledge : )
