Default ran the DBxpress, but can't import the messages

it seemed to run successfully, as it went from folder to folder, listing
hundreds and thousands of messages....but when I go to import the messages
into OE, it says "there are no messages in the folder or another application
has the whatever blah blah blah open"
Any ideas?

You can't import them with OE's File | Import because that imports from DBX
files and DBXpress saved them as individual EML files. You can drag them
from The Windows folder to a folder in an open OE.
