Is there any way to import OE messages directly from their existing format
into a different copy of OE (after closing down the first one, obviously)?

Thanks.

Define: "different copy of OE". A different identity? Another machine?

Sorry. What happened was this. I copied the relevant OE files on one
computer (using Windows Explorer), and transferred them to my laptop. I am
now a long way from home with only my laptop. I can't seem to import the
files into the Vista version of OE. Isn't there a workaround solution, so
that I can access the email messages?

Thanks.

Did you include folders.dbx?

If you didn't include folders.dbx, then you will have to extract the
messages from the dbx file.
