Default Importing

Hello,

I'm having problems using the importing function of OE6.

If I copy and save all of my .dbx files into a folder, and attempt to import
from there, it only reads the Inbox, Sent, Outbox, Draft and Junk Folders -
nothing else.

How to import the other .dbx files?

Thank you.

Default Importing

Did you disable the Read Only attribute for all folders, and include
Folders.dbx when you copied them?

Sounds like you did not include Folders.dbx. Without it OE doesn't know
about user created folders.
