I have a stored folder with .dbx extension that I wish to transfer to Outlook
Express.

Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

Many thanks

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put the
location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write
the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, 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.

Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one you want
to transfer. ***Copy a message from any folder to the new one. You MUST do
this.*** Close OE. Go to Windows Explorer and drag the folder you want to
transfer from its current location to the OE store folder that you click on
to reveal the .dbx files, (but don't open it). Prompt - "Do you want to
overwrite......."? Click Yes.
