Need to get my old dbx files into outlook express
HI! I saved my inbox, sent, and deleted folders as dbx files. Then I
reloaded windows xp on my computer. Now I had to redo my outlook express. How do I get these three folders back into my new outlook express? I saved and imported my address book with ease. But when I try to import "messages" (I placed these dbx files on my desktop) it cannot find it. I tried dragging these files into outlook express, but then OE made it an attachment to an email. HELP! |

Probably OE "cannot find" your DBX files because you moved them to the desktop, somewhere under c:\documents\username. Do a Find File procedure to locate the full filepath to INBOX.DBX, write down the filepath, and then use OE / File / Import / Messages / Browse to point to the correct folder. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

You need to format your hard drive and reinstall windows.

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

Hello,
Open Outlook Express and create the respective folders. Close Outlook Express. Navigate to your store folder where the OE stores its DBX files. They should have the exact file names as the one you have a backup of. Now just copy the backup DBX files and *overwrite* the ones in the store folder. Start Outlook Express again and you should see your folders with the original mail messages. To find the store folder: Start Outlook Express Tools Options Maintenance Store Folder and the textbox will show you the location of your store folder. ________ http://www.tompangbuddy.com Share Cab, Carpool and Save Earth in Singapore http://www.bootstrike.com/VHSVideoConvert/ Video Conversion Service VHS Video8 Hi8 miniDv Digital8 VHS-C S-VHS tapes to VCD/DVD wrote in message ...
