email folder saved to disk

[JohnAP]

I want to know how it is possible to save an email folder to disk and then
import the files into another computer with Outlook Express. I have tried
using 'import' but it will not touch anything that is on a CD-Rom.

This is to help a friend who has lost all his emails to reconstitute those
emails sent to me. I realise that I could Fw them all to him, but there is a
lot of mail in this particular folder.

Create an Archive Folder

Create a new Mail Folder in Outlook Express named Archive. Move the messages
you wish to archive into the folder, then close OE.
Copy the file Archive.dbx from your store folder onto your backup media.
Open OE and delete the file Archive.dbx.
Restore an Archive.dbx

Create a new Mail Folder in OE named Archive and open the folder at least
once! This is required to force OE to create a corresponding Archive.dbx
file.
Close OE and delete the newly-created Archive.dbx file.
Copy the backup of Archive.dbx into the OE store folder.
Open OE.
