Default Import Inbox.dbx from another store?

Got caught in some system problem that
required a System Restore to resolve.
In the process, OE created an Inbox(1).dbx
and downloaded a couple of e-mails.....no
big deal if I loose them. Anyway, the original
compacted Inbox.dbx seems, from its size,
to have all the messages of the past. How
do I get OE to 1) switch to the original
Inbox.dbx or 2) import the messages from
the original?

Thanks,
Bill
