Outlook Express files....

[Junior_co]

I was told prior to trying to fix my OS after a Service Pack 2 SNAFU, to search and save all the *.dbx files. This would save all the OLE address books and emails and folders...

Now the question is: How do I get this information back into OLE.....

Any thought...??

Open Outlook Express Click Tools, Options Click the Maintenance tab Click Store Folder Highlight the “path” contained in the box by left clicking and holding the mouse button down at the beginning, and dragging to the end of the box. Release the left mouse button. Right click on the text and choose copy Click Cancel Click OK
Exit Outlook Express Click Start then click Run Right click inside the Open box and choose paste Click OK A folder will open containing all the Outlook express files.
Open My Computer Open the Mail Backup folder you created on your desktop. Highlight the “.dbx” files you want to restore. Left click, holding the mouse button down drag the selections into the window you opened by following the instructions above. The files will be copied into the folder. (A pop-up window may ask if you want to overwrite the existing files. If it does, click Yes Repeat until all files are restored.
Close all open windows.
Hope this helps
