IMPORTING EMAILS INTO OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6
I have recently reinstalled Windows XP and would now like to import my old
emails into Outlook Express. I have located the .dbx files but when I use FILE/IMPORT/MESSAGES/OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6/IMPORT MAIL FROM AN OE6 DIRECTORY/BROWSE A message comes up saying: No messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open. Please select another folder or try closing applications that have files open. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Bruce
Thanks it worked! What I was omitting to do, was include the FOLDERS.dbx file. Once I included that it worked fine. Many thanks. "Bruce Hagen" wrote: Was XP an upgrade from another OS?

IMPORTING EMAILS INTO OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6
Bruce,
I've followed your solutions for others so here's my scenario: After trying to Import into OE my 18 .dbx files (one is Folders.dbx), I get the message: No messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open. Please select another folder or try closing applications that may have files open. I have copied the files (each are not Read-Only) to another folder named email, checked off the Read-Only mode, hit Apply, then close it out. After checking properties again, the email folder says it's Read-Only again but each individual file is not. If this is the problem, how do I correct it? Your help will be much appreciated.

See what you didn't do here.
Backup & Resto http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/backup/ If all else fails, you may have to import them manually. A little work, but not so bad once you get going. This canned reply refers to the Desktop as where the files are now, so just substitute Desktop for the folder you put them in. If any have a name that is the same as a folder in OE now with message in them, either rename the one you want to import, or the one in OE as this will overwrite. Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on the Desktop. Open the new folder and then close OE. Go to Windows Explorer and locate the Message Store folder for your OE identity, but don't open it. Click on the Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop in the right hand pane to the OE store folder in the left pane. Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Nickster" wrote in message ...
