import .dbx files from CDRom

[JohnAP]

I have saved an email folder to CDRom as described in OE Help. I want to be
able to import it into a friend's OE but have difficulty doing a direct
import from disk (I cannot do it) - I then dragged the files from disk onto
desktop, changed its name and moved it into the outlook express folder with
all other .dbx files but, when I try to import I can look in that folder but
cannot see the files although I know they are there when I open the folder
without using the import process,

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.
