I have been trying to restore my backed up mails to
Outlook Express after recently reformatting my hard drive.
I have followed the usual instructions which is open
Outlook File>Import>Messages>Browse and then I specify the
folder all the .dbx files are in and I get an error
message saying 'No messages can be found in this folder or
another application is running that has the required
files. Please select another folder or try closing
applications that may have files open'
Any suggestions welcomed before I give myself concussion
from headbutting the computer screen.
 
Ask in an Outlook Express forum. This is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.
