Well, I'm a little confused. All of the folders in your store file should be
in your OE folder list, if you have created a new "folder.dbx". However, if
you have copied and pasted additional .dbx files from another computer into
your store folder, you have to watch out for duplicate names. For instance, if
you have a folder called apples in OE, that will show up in your store file as
apples.dbx. If, you want to add an apple.dbx from another computer, and they
are different emails, you have to change the name of the apples folder in OE.
Maybe apple one. Then, that will show up in your store as apple one.dbx. Now
you can paste your apple.dbx from your old computer to your store file. You
now have a apple.dbx and apple one.dbx that will come over to your OE after you
have gone through the process of saving your new store file, deleting your
folder .dbx and then opening OE. You can move the emails to the folder you
want and rename them. This is the only way I know to check the emails you
want to keep. Now we're both confused.
Some one probably knows an easier process than I.

Hi Loren,
Thank you very much for your response. Here is the problem that I am having
now. I currently have all my folders in the OE program working correctly. In
the personal store manager where the .dbx files are stored there are folders
with almost duplicate names, for example, the folder named Stansberry and
Associates in the OE program. In the store .dbx files it is named Stansberry
and Associates (1).dbx and the second .dbx file has the same name as the OE
program folder. The difference is left paran1right paran in the first .dbx
file. How do I tell which of the 2 .dbx files is the correct one? I hope I
haven't totally confused you. Thanks much.
Mike

I don't know if this is what you want. But, if you open OE and all folders
are not showing or opening up, do the following. Make a backup list of the DBX
folders. These are the store ones in your computer, not in OE. With OE
closed, go to the store list and delete the "folder.dbx". Now, open up OE and
all folders will show up and a new folder.dbx will form in your store list. I
hope this works.

Hi All,
I just learned about Outlook Express and .dbx files. I have folders in
the .dbx files, such as, Websites and Tech Stuff.dbx, that arre in where the
DBx files are located, but not in my folder list in OE. How do I get the
folders working correctly back into the OE folder list? I am running XP/Office
Home, Jaws 9& 10, and OE 6. All advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
much.
Mike
