OE6 reading compacted messages

OK, so I can't figure out how to import the messages back
into OE6 how about telling me how I can read them on the C
drive CD or anywhere else.

When I open properties I have unchecked Read only hidden
and archive.

I guess it isn't important to put them back in my OE6
folders if I can access the data from them somewhere else.

You cannot read a DBX file (not easily anyway), since the data is broken in
to 512 byte segments and scattered randomly throughout the DBX file. You
can use DBXtract ($5) from www.oehelp.com to extract the contents of a dbx
file as individual eml files which will open natively in Outlook Express.

But the import is not difficult. Follow the advice at these links:
