Fixing/work around re mistake with OE 6.0 import/export
Hello
I recently exported all Outlook Express 6.0 messages on a friend's old computer in order to install them on her new computer. Unfortunately she started using OE on her new computer before the import of the old messages. If I now import them will I overwrite the new emails she has received & sent? As she does not want to lose the new ones is there any way to sort this out - she has messages in the old OE that she still needs to access & reply to. [ Both the old & new computers have/had IE 7.0 & OE 6.0 fully updated with all patches/updates. The old computer ran Windows XP Home SP2 & the new one has XP Professional SP3 ]. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Fixing/work around re mistake with OE 6.0 import/export
The OE export is used to export messages to another program on the same
computer. Hopefully, you copied the dbx files including folders.dbx from the OE Store Folder. Put the dbx files in a folder on the new computer. Remove the Read Only attribute. In OE, File, Import, Messages, OE6, select OE store directory, browse to folder of dbx files. File, Import will not overwrite messages. -- Ron Sommer "Greg" wrote in message ...

Hello Ron
Thanks for your reply. I did copy the dbx files including folders.dbx. I know all the emails are there as I ran it on my computer (I don't use OE) & all messages are there. I will follow your directions. Many thanks Greg "Ron Sommer" wrote: The OE export is used to export messages to another program on the same computer.
