Default moving Outlook Express 6 messages from a backup-drive

As a result of receiving thousands of unsolicited repetitive emails, I
inadvertently wiped out all the messages in my Inbox and Delete Folders. I
have the data from last nights backup on my USB connected hard drive. How
can I transfer the contents of the backup Inbox.dbx file located in Outlook
Express under Identities, to the Inbox on the main drive? Thank you.

If it is not Read Only you can copy it over your existing Inbox.dbx while OE
is closed. If it is Read Only and you do this then OE will no longer work.
