Problem in importing DBX files to MOE

[Guest Venucirra]

Hi,

I am facing a problem with the OE. I took a back-up of outlook express

mails, before formating my PC. After every thing is done, when I tried to

import those files which are in DBX format, only few files got import. Our

internal mails, which are on our firm name did not get imported. Rest like

the mails i sent and the one which I received from out siders theough with

the import.

So can you please help in importing rest of my internal files. For example

here we work around 15 people, and have official maild IDs with the firm

name. I need to import these files back to outlook exp or outlook.

All these mails are very important to me. Please help me in this regards.

Best to ask the experts in an OE newsgroup.

You need to ask in the OE group, but how did you import? One way is to put

*all* of the files, including folders.dbx, in one folder, and then choose

"import from store folder".

If the back-up set doesn't include FOLDERS.DBX, you're pretty much SOL.

IIRC, I've found that I have worked around that by creating a new

folders.dbx with the folder names required. I had the original folder set

(without the folders.dbx) off in another folder, opened OE and made folders

with all the appropriate names. Then exited OE, copied that new

folders.dbx over to the "old" fileset folder. Once that was done, OE was

able to recognise the "old" folders file as a message store folder and the

import could proceed.
