Help Req'd trying to import "old" email into new machine
Hi there,
I've been unsuccessful in trying to import some "recovered" email into my
current O/E 6 email account.
I should mention:
1. The *.dbx files recovered were from a "dead" hard drive, and are
currently residing on my desktop (10 folders)
2. I've checked the attributes and none are hidden or read only
As an experiment, I've run the wizard (i.e. File Import Messages, OE6,
etc).
3. I'm able to "drill down" to the folder holding the *dbx files but can
only see 5 of the 10.
My question is 2 fold:
1. Is there any particular reason I can't see all the dbx folders?
2. Is there any way I can import the old folders into my new O/Express
without overwriting everything created and in the new folders and Inboxes.
I tried renaming some of the old folders and created folders of the same
name in my "new" tree. However, I still couldn't find these renamed or any
of the missing folders when I ran the wizard.
I'm reluctant to continue with the wizard until I'm clear about the above.
Any help would be appreciated.
Keith
