Where are my messages?

[Guest]

I imported my messages from XP OE v.6 into Vista but can't find them. There
are over 300. When I imported the messages I got a message indicating that
they were imported as Outlook Express 6 messages. Do I need to convert them
to Win. Mail? Or, do I need to do in "Options?" Thanks for any help.

Did you follow these instructions?

If not, what did you do?
Do you still have the DBX files, including Folders.dbx?

Frank, the files are in my documents and have .dbx. In fact, when I imported
them into Vista, it looked like they were imported. The problem is, I only
see 7 or 8 files (messages) but there were many more.

Then are you sure you have the right DBX files?
You can use this cheap prograsm to extract messages from a DBX file:
DBXtract ($7): http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx
There is also a free alternative to DBXtract,

although I have never used it.
