.dbx problems
I backed up .dbx files or OE but am unable to reinstall the backed up files
into the OE file. Everytime I replace the existing file (ex. sent items.dbx) with my backed up file, OE creates a new file called "sent items (1).dbx" and uses this file. Any way to force OE to take my backed up file? Thanks!

.dbx problems
Did you include Folders.dbx in your backup? Import will fail if you didn't.
Also, right click on the dbx files and remove the Read Only attribute.

.dbx problems
Folders.dbx was not backed up. Is there any saving this information?
