Hello. My old computer, which was running Windows XP and using Outlook
Express crashed. Took it to a computer repair guy, who backed everything up
for me. I bought a new computer, which of course came with Vista and
Microsoft Mail.
I am desperately trying to recover my email from the old computer, by trying
to import the .dbx files from the back-up. But I keep getting the error
message "No messages can be found in this folder or another application is
running that has the required folders open." Even though I see that the
files are there.
I've been looking everywhere for help (google, forums, microsoft support,
etc), and the only advice any give, is to look at the 'properties' of the
files, and make sure they are not read-only. They are not. But I still get
the message. Any other advice?
I was able to import my contacts fine. It's just the email I need.
Thanks, Julie
