Importing/Transferring of News Accounts and News Messages
Hello,
I have a laptop with Outlook Express 6.0 that I used to post to Newsgroups using three different Newsgroup Servers and 7 Newsgroup accounts lets say AccA, AccB, AccC, AccD, AccE, AccF and AccG with different names. My laptop got completely corrupted due to Virus infections last week and the local computer service guy removed the virus but somehow lost the Outlook Express Accounts ie when I open Outlook Express 6.0, I dont see all the old accounts and newsgroups and the respective messages anymore. But I can see and access the Store Folder and all the dbx files including the folders.dbx, sent items.dbx, deleted items.dbx, inbox.dbx, outbox.dbx and drafts.dbx folders and pretty much all the newsgroup dbx files. AccF and AccG are Unused accounts for a while ie I no longer have accounts with the respective Newsgroup Service Providers but they still had some downloaded messages. Now I want to get back the Outlook Express 6.0 and ALL the newsgroup accounts with all the respective downloaded messages just the way it was before my laptop got infected with the Virus. I am positive the Outlook Express 6.0 messages, dbx files are all intact without any corruption. Can some one suggest the best and any possible methods to achieve what I want. Thanks .................................................. ...............

Importing/Transferring of News Accounts and News Messages
You have to add the newsgroup accounts back to OE. The newsgroup settings
are stored in the Registry, so restoring the newsgroup folders will not bring the groups back. You can create new folders in OE so you can read the old messages but the new folders will not sync with the news servers. Create a new folder. Name it AccAarchive. Open the AccAarchive folder. Close OE. Copy the AccA.dbx file from the old store folder to the new store folder. Delete AccAarchive.dbx file. Rename AccA.dbx to AccAarchive.dbx. If you use a backup program, it will save the Registry settings and the messages. http://www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/Default.aspx -- Ron Sommer MS MVP-Mail "SuperNova" wrote in message . ..

Unless you backed up the registry and files first, you cannot do it. See
