I've never been able to get the "import" function to work
I simply copy thedbxfilesover
be sure to do so *prior* to using OE
Thedbxfilesare pretty well hidden within your profile
just do a drive search for *.dbx
you may need to enable "hidden"
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.
