Default Cant Open Old DBX folder dated 2005

Way back, I saved an OE Sent Items dbx folder dated 2005. When I open it, I
see only my current SENT ITEMS folder, not the 2005 one.

How can I view this viewe folder?

How are you trying to open it?

In the message store in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx file for the
folder in question and drag it to the Desktop at the top of the folder tree.
Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your
Desktop. Open the new folder and then close OE. (You must do this). Go back
to Windows Explorer and Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to
the OE store folder that you clicked on to reveal the .dbx files. Prompt -
"Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.

*Note* If you have moved the Outlook Express store folder from it's default
location on drive C to another drive, drag the dbx file to a location on
that drive and not the Desktop.
