Hi Ian and Jim,
You know, Ian, I hadn't realised you could now do that with Outlook Express
messages as in earlier versions there were only a few options. All this
time I have done it the rather "long and dirty" way, which is why I didn't
really want to offer a solution right off when asked.
I did try it out tonight though and discovered something I'd like to mention
and that was that the folder I imported was not stored in its original
location (under the In-box) but rather on a level with the In-Box. I think,
in future, I'll try creating the folder first and see what happens as I like
my folders where I want them and not where the "big boys" in Microsoft think
they should be. Other than that, the import did work. Jim, you do have to
be a bit nifty with locating where you've stored those .DBX folders and, if
you're not experienced in working your way back up from Microsoft's idea of
a location to somewhere you've put them then you may find it a little
tricky, but there are plenty of people who can help with that one, I'd
think, including myself.
HTH:
