Outlook Express, backing up and restoring email messages

[Salit]

I backed up my Outlook Express inbox on a CD but don't
seem to have any files except DBX files. I can't now
copy them back into my inbox. Is there a way I can get
the messages back into my inbox? Thanks

Put them in a folder of their own on the hard drive.
Remove the Read Only attribute.
Use OE's File | Import | Messages.
