I think you are going to need to take this to a shop to get it resolved.

If you didn't include Folders.dbx in your backup, an import will fail.

Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your
desktop. Open the new folder and then close OE. Go to Windows Explorer

well, Windows explorer isn't on my desktop and I can't locate it in
control panel or search....jeez....
and
locate the Message Store folder for your OE identity, but don't open it.
Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to the OE store folder.
Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.
