[jaws-uk] Fw: Dbx and strange happening

In case this clarifies a bit, it must be what Tony did but forgot he did not
need an extractor. Well he was about to move to France to live it was ice
and snow and he knew I had got all my software for K.11. I thought he was
wonderful to come. Dorothy

Hi,

The DBX files are standard Outlook Express data files.  What was done
probably was to go to the folder that stores the files, then Tony
probably copied them over for safe keeping.  If you go into tools |
options, maintenance tab, there is an option there called store folders,
which if you press it will tell you where the files (DBX files) are
stored.  You can then copy them to a safe place, usually to back them up
if you are doing a reinstall.  You then restore them into the newly
created DBX files after Outlook Express is installed by the method I
described yesterday.

I used this method when reformatting the desktop, preserving the small
amount of mail you had there after the engineer replaced the disk.

Andrew.

Hi,

In Outlook Express, File, Import, Mail messages, then choose Outlook
Express 6.  You tell it where the DBX files exist, then it finds all DBX
files and you can import all of just the specific folders.

Firstly let me say this is not due to updating     Avg
    Last night when Andrew phoned to talk me through  updating Avg. He



said
he knew what to do about the  files a good many with the Dbx

extension.

If
anyone remembers we had  been looking at Dbx extractors and Tony my

Rnib

Volunteer was doing this up to the moment he left to go and live-in
France.
Various suggestions were sent in including one from George costing

dollar

5
remember.  I did not want to pay a fiddly sum neither did another Jaws
lister  who also had Dbx files.

Well last night Andrew said "we don't need an extractor we need to get



them
out of archived mail where they are located  and import them into O.E

so I

followed his spoken instructions and Lo and behold! files that

preceded my

Hd failure were brought back to life. So I am almost in  a position

prior

to  losing all my mail all means all  Registry the lot. The Dbx  must

have

been at some time sent to laptop where Tony  Rnib Volunteer found them

and

he sent them over to desktop   Now if I want to destroy anything I can



read
it first.

Now I am coming to it. I put on my desktop this morning and say Spam!

and

a
lot of it. I thought  well if that is the new Avg  I don't think much

of

that. I went to put on laptop and saw no Spam at all, came back to

desktop

and had a look at  this list of Spam and found  are all old April last



year, what a relief it was in Freeserve days so all I have to do then

is

to delete the  Spam and will be in a Spamless situation again.  End of



story.the dates of the Spam  Dorothy. sorry   Jaws has had a nervous
twitch, means emails have come in somewhere.  I wonder why Jaws is so
sensitive to incoming emails,  is it increased   electrical field Any
guesses Dorothy.
