Outlook Express

[Guest]

I had to reload all software. I saved the .dbx file that was in the Outlook Express folder. I now everything running but can not open these saved e-mails. How do you get Outlook Express to recognize this saved file? Any ideas?

Copy the .dbx files to
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{ID-String}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

That won't work.
