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!!!
