Yes, there is something illogical about the directory level you have to
choose in OE when importing OE. Try taking a lower or higher folder.
Even easier is importing the messages into Thunderbird and then
exporting them to OE -- or just sticking to TB.
If you let your friend try out TB for a few days, he probably won't want
to ever again be without its safety and spam filter (-:
