I have copied all the --.dbx files that I have exported from Outlook Express
into a folder named: "C:\OEM" on the new PC. Then I started:
"File/Import/Messages" and choosed: "Microsoft Outlook Express 6" and hit the
next button. "Import mail from an OE6 store drectory" was hooked on so I hit
OK button. Then I "browesed to: "C:\OEM\" and in the top of the window I can
read: " No items match your search."
(No dbx files are read only)

Denise, your problem description does not fit in with the
subject title of this thread. In the future, please start a new post.

If you want to use your MSN account, you will need to get the free
upgrade to Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

Free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only unless you pay them
for a premium Mail Plus account:
