Can't open backed up email

I back up my email on a regular basis, but opening it - I can't. The
subfolders: Inbox; Outbox; and my other folders are in .dbx format on the
back-up media. Right clicking them and Open With OE6.0 only opens my OutLook
Exp but I cant' see the backed up mail. I have tried to copy the .dbx files
to my PC and open them, but no luck.
Please advise.
 
The DBX file(s) must be associated with an OE identity in order to read the
messages they contain so you must Import it/them.
