Anthony Warburton

Hi
JUst bought new PC and before putting my old p[c in a big
hole in the garden I saved all Outlook express folders as
dbx files (as instructed byu outlook help pages). I saved
them onto a CD-ROM which I have now inserted in my new PC-
I have placed a copy of this folder (containing all my dbx
files) on my desktop but each time I follow the path of:-

File-Import-Messages-MOE6-Import mail from an OE6
directory- then browse to find my folder I get an error
message saying

No messages can be found in this folder - bla bla bla

but they are in there - I can see them

please help!!!

Thanks

Anthony, this newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97/98/2000/2002/2003 from
the Office suite of products. Outlook Express is actually a separate
program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or an
OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com.

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
