:- I saved emails onto a dvd-r , bought a new computer, and now battling to get my OLD emails into my new inbox. Anybody help?So, you have .dbx files on your DVD, right? Exactly, what technique have you tried? Are you using OE 6?YES, OE 6.
Tried the obvious copy and paste, send to,......manage to copy the folder from the disc to My Documents but still can't get it to OE inbox. I emailed the folder to myself but it came thru as an attachment and still can't open the attachment - when asked "open as" I had to browse for OE but it doesn't open the folder (using windows xp) - there must be an easy way! Tried Import from OE inbox but only OFFERS to import from other OE type programs...
Any ideas?PS: yes dbx files on the dvdTry this. Put the .dbx files wherever you want to permanently keep them on your hard drive. I would create a folder outside of My Documents, but that's up to you. Open OE and go to Tools, Options, Maintenance, and CLICK on the Store Folder button. Click on Change, and change that to the folder where your .dbx files are located. Click OK and close out of OE. Open OE again and see if your messages now appear in Inbox.

By the way, in your old computer, did you add folders in OE, or were you only using the standard Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, ETC.?Success! Many thanks Soybeen.
Yes, I did have other folders, copied each one separartely. Suspect I could create new folders in my new OE and then move their store too?Have to sign off now - seem to have got my other folders working in the same folder.
Thanks for your help, Soybeen
