Default How do I put saved *.eml files back into my Inbox

Hi,
I backed up my email one by one as *.eml files. How can I put them back in
the "Inbox" folder?
Thanks

Default How do I put saved *.eml files back into my Inbox

You may drag EML files to any open OE folder, but I suggest you don't drag
'em to Inbox.

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

Open the folder with the .eml files. Open MS Outlook Express, and
highlight the Inbox. Highlight the .eml files you want to bring back and
drag them to the Inbox. Drop them.

Drag-n-Drop from saved file to OE button on task bar, when OE opens Drop.

And then there is OEX. You can just point to a directory of eml files or
even a dbx file on CD and import all the messages with a click.
