Default OE6 Backup Restore Problem

I rearranged some folders on my HD but when I opened OE6, the opening window had
no messages. I imported what I thought was the backup file and all seemed to go
well, but when I checked the dates of several key files, the dates were not 2005
or 2006. I can only assume that I imported an older backup folder. How that's
possible, I don't know, but I do have a folder that has message dates up to
3-4-2006. Unfortunately, when I try to import this folder, I get a message
window "Import from OE5" saying: "The specified message store could not be
opened. It may be in use by Outlook Express." This is followed by an "Import
Messages" window that says: "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." I have no clue as
to what to do next. Suggestions, please!

Bill
