Remove the Read Only attribute from the folder on the Desktop.

Open OE | File | Import | Messages. Choose MS Outlook Express 6 and follow
the prompts.

Note that if you did not include Folders.dbx, they will not import.

Check the last few posts in the thread. RA mentions a reference to Linux, he
never had that. I am at a total loss and am supposed to be the one that can
fix it. I don't understand why SP2 would download OK and then have this
problem. %-(=
