I am having a problem trying to import my old Outlook Express mail into my
new installation on Vista's Windows Mail program.
Here's how I'm trying to do it:
In Windows Mail, click on File/Import/Messages. In the new dialog, select
'Microsoft Outlook Express 6'. Click NEXT, select 'Import mail from and OE6
store directory', click OK.
I then browse to the folder where my DBX files are stored, click SELECT
FOLDER, then click NEXT.
At this point I get the following error message:
"No messages 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."
I searched around and found a couple of possible solutions, such as making
sure the files are not set to read only, and ensuring that the folders.dbx
file is present, but those solutions don't work for me.
Please help!
