My stored message folders have been overwritten
I added a new identity to OE6.0. Then under Tools---Maintenance---Options ---Store Folder, I changed the location to the Drive where my mail is stored.
OE just overwrote everything. My old messages were lost. I then restore from backup, (Win XP) but now OE does not read those messages. I tried importing them but that didn't work either. I reloaded OE6.0 but that didn't help either. Please help. I need my messages Thanks in advance Sam |

My stored message folders have been overwritten
If your backup was to a CD, those DBX files are marked Read Only and that
attribute will need to be cleared first before an import can work. Try copying the old backed up DBX files to a folder you create on your Desktop, then select all the DBX files, right click selecting Properties, and clear the Read Only attribute. Then try the import, selecting from a message store and point to the folder on your Desktop with the DBX files. -- Jim Pickering, MVP-Outlook Express Please reply only to newsgroup.
