Probably OE "cannot find" yourDBXfilesbecause you moved
them to the desktop, somewhere under c:\documents\username.

Do a Find File procedure to locate the full filepath toINBOX.DBX,
write down the filepath, and then use OE / File / Import / Messages / Browse
to point to the correct folder.

I saved those dbx files onto an external hard drive, then I reloaded
Windows XP. I dragged those dbx files back onto my desktop. So,
those files would not be hidden anywhere because I just put them back
onto the desktop. How then do I get them into Outlook Express. I
would really like to get my old inbox, deleted, and sent folders into
the new OE.
