I recently had problems with my pc. It was re-installed.
From the harddisk, a number of files were backed up among
which what should be the Outlook Express 6 mails that
existed on the pc before the problems occurred. This gave
a number of *.dbx files on the backup CD.
Now I want to import these files into the Outlook Express
6. To do this, I choose the option Import from the File
menu, then I indicate I want to import messages, and so on
and so on. At the end of the procedure, I click
on 'Finish the import' and almost immediately receive teh
message the import was finished. But ... none of the old
mails appears. Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong ?
Anybody can explain how to import correctly the *.dbx
files I have on my backup CD ? Who knows how I an access
the contents of these *.dbx files (what editor or file
reading tool to use to view the contents of these
files ?) ?
Thanks a lot.
