I have upgraded to Vista and everything is working fine except can't import
my messages from OE. I get to the import screen, it asks for file location
but won't let me type anything in the box. Help.

Choose the option on the bottom to import from an OE6 store directory and
click OK. In the next window click Browse and navigate to the folder that
holds the *.dbx files you want to import from.

I have an interesting twist on this. When I go to the directory with the
Import utility, is says 'No Items Match Your Search', but from properties it
does say there's 551mb of data in the folder.... When I selected the folder,
the import worked (ok, sort of worked, one of the folderswouldn't import for
some strange reason...)
