Did you copy the backed up files to the same computer before attempting the
import? Networking computers often causes a failure to import correctly.
If the files were copied at any time to a CD/DVD, a Read-Only attribute was
set during the copy process which must be cleared after you've copied them
to a folder location on the same computer you wish to do the import to.

I copied a mail folder with about 10 unread emails in it using cut and
paste
to the desktop. My computer crashed but I had backed up the mail folder
file
on the desktop to another computer. When I try to restore the folder with
the
emails using OE6 on the other computer nothing shows up. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Peter
