Hi Rob, If you have a new OE 6.0 you can do next to read the messages: In Folders list in OE right click on Local folders and make a new folder with the same name as your file.dbx(eg.:if you have messages file rob.dbx then make a new folder with the name rob.dbx).Then copy the file.dbx (messages file that you can't import) into the store folder in the new OE 6.0.When you are asked to replace the new folder with the messages file just click yes.Now you can read messages ,that are in messages file(.dbx). PS.in order to know what store folder in new OE 6.0 is in OE windows go to Tools\Options\Maintenance\Store Folder.
