I have a folder that contains all of my email files as of Sep 2002. I have
copied it to my HD and removed the "Read Only" attribute. When I try to
import these .dbx files into OE I get an error message that there are no
mail messages in that folder OR else the folder is in use. There ARE mail
messages in thaat folder and it is NOT in use. How do I get these .dbx
folders into OE? Thanks in advance for any help, Jim

If they won't import, you can try to manually import them. See
