Can I import my previous message w/o "Folders.dbx"

[Person]

Hi,
I just knew that importing the previous OE mail message
requires the file "Folders.dbx". Because I have lost this
file, is there any way to import my previous OE5
message / folders to OE6 without checking the
file "Folders.dbx"?

Symptom:
Whenever I try to import the previous mail message,
an "Import Message" says - No message can be found in
this folder or another application is running that has
the required files open. Please select another folder or
try closing applications that may have files open.

It doesn't work either do I put the previous files (.dbx)
in the folder where OE6 is
running, or copy them to another different folder.

Hi -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:
