Hi folks:
Can anyone help with a problem I've been struggling with for the past hour.

I recently got a new computer running Windows XP and am now wanting to
import my E mail messages which are currently stored on a CDR but which were
created in Outlook Express, same version as I am running on this computer.
Can anyone tell me how to do this.  I have tried moving the folders into a
folder specified in the Import wizard but every time I try to import I keep
getting the message that the program is using the files or some such
nonsense.  Well, of course it is, I am using Outlook Express to import
messages previously created in Outlook Express.  Anyway, I am having no
success but would really like to have these folders.

I have tried opening the folders but Windows reports that it needs to know
what program created the .dbx files.

I have changed the file attributes to reflect that they are not Read Only
but am running out of ideas now.

 I am beginning to tear my hair out, not a pretty sight, so can someone
please help!!!
Many thanks.
DOREEN YALE.
