Default Copy Mail Files to Backup and Import from Backup Folder

I followed the instructions to accomplish the above with the exception that I
saved the mail files to a CD instead of to the Desktop. (I do not have lots
of space left on C).
The import function cant see the files on the CD
Will this only work if the files are saved to the Desktop?
Thanks

Default Copy Mail Files to Backup and Import from Backup Folder

Copy the CD to anyplace you want on your HDD. Right click on the folder |
Properties, and remove the Read Only attribute. Open OE and use the Import
function. Note that if you did not include Folders.dbx, you will have a
problem importing.

See this for references on how to Backup & Resto
