Delores How did you move the dbx folders? You must let Windows move them. What are the properties when you right click on the dbx file you can not get into? It might really be empty because of some other thing you did. dbx file folders are picky. Can you try another mail program and try to import these folders into it. http://www.mistered.us/wwwboard/messages/4700.shtml This is a board about OE problems. He says contact him if yours is a different problem. http://www.softpile.com/Internet/Email/Review_21229_index.html This is a program that will recover .dbx files. You can try it free but the full version is $45. ouch lol You could probably find a free solution by searching the newsgroup: "microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress" or ask your question in there. This was another suggestion I found from someone else.
