Odd. Last night it wouldn't find the *.dbx files even thoughtI have it set to
view hidden files. Today it finds them. One wierd thing: I can't go Start >
Control Panel > Folder Options - Folder Options does not exist in the control
panel. The only way I can get to it is by going Tool > Folder Options in an
open folder.

Ok, so I've imported messages from my main id. How do I import my other
inboxes (from hotmail accounts) and their messages?
