I'm sorry, Debbie, I just don't understand. I don't try to open .dbx files as if they were text files or something. I didn't say anything like that. I'm not talking about opening files, reading messages, or whatever. I'm just mentioning that in OE you can fix it up so that as you create messages and folders in OE, they go to wherever you've told OE to put them instead of to that mysterious default folder. That's all. This provides OE with a pointer to that location, and that's all it is. I'm sorry, again. Seems to be a misunderstanding.

You can't just move the messages that are stored inside an OE dbx file back to OE. Go to that folder and try to open one of the dbx files. What happens?

You can just go to the Tools/Options menu and find the place where you designate another folder of your own choice for messages to be kept in, instead. I forget which tab of the options that is, let me see...it's the Maintenance tab, where you go to the option Store Message in dot dot dot and open that and do stuff. Take a look. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marsha" <marcatony@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 3:47 PM Subject: Messages in OE Hi Debbie I changed the subject. Is what your talking about something like this? You want to move some of the OE messages from one part of the hard drive to another part? By this I mean the way OE hides the message in the strange place.
