Moving old *.dbx files

G

Guest

My harddrive died but before it did, I saved my files, including Outlook
Express 6 files. Now I can't get them to "activate". By looking at my
laptop, I copied the old folders into the new OE6 store file. But when I
open OE6 the folders are not there. Somehow I need to "activate"? I tried
to import the files also. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Any ideas?

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:
