corrupt dbx files

Hi all,

I have come across a very annoying problem when
restoring .dbx files onto a new computer.

old computer on express 5. cut all the dbx files from the
outlook express location & backed up onto another
computer.
Once new computer was setup (OE 6) i attempted to import
the dbx files... which it did.... but didnt restore any
folders after the letter "L"

i have tried creating those folders hoping it would
recognize its contents.... dosnt work.

have attempted importing into ms outlook... doesnt work

have tried all outlook recovry apps on the net that i have
come across.... doesnt work.

have also tried importing into another computer running OE
5.... doesnt work...

Any suggestions for a frustrated technician with a very
unhappy customer?

Kind regards

See my reply to your identical post in the OE5.5 newsgroup. Please do not
"multipost" the same problem to each and every newsgroup for Outlook
