Hi afbosch,

Some details of what you are doing are lacking. It is difficult to suggest a
course of action, but here is something to try.

Create a new Local Folder in Outlook Express.
The name for the folder could be Test.
Move or drag one message into the folder. This will enable its recognition
by OE in the message store.
Close Outlook Express
Rename the Folders.dbx file in the backup folder to Folders.old.
Move a copy of the Folders.dbx from the message store to the backup folder.

Rename a DBX folder file you are trying to import from the backup folder to
Test.dbx.

Try importing (from the backup folder) this one folder into OE -- NOT all
folders.
Look in the OE Test folder for the imported messages.

This exercise should allow you to determine if the files can be imported
successfully.

Open the Store Folder



Instead of using search the store folder can be opened directly. Each
identity has its own store folder.



a.. In Outlook Express click on Tools, Options, Maintenance tab...Store
Folder.
b.. Place the cursor at the left of the text of the path to the folder.
c.. Drag the cursor to the right until the text scrolls to the end.
d.. Right-click on the text and choose Copy.
e.. In the Start, Run box right-click Paste. Click OK to open the store
folder.
f.. Close Outlook Express before working with the message store files.


Using Keyboard Shortcuts for Transfer of the Folder Path
Courtesy of: Jim Pickering, MVP-Outlook Express

An even easier method when opening that page is to use the Tab to
highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C and close OE, then use Start/Run
and Ctrl+V. Same caveat about hidden files applies but can be easily
modified in Explorer by using Tools/Folder Options.

Hi afbosch,

One clarification. After creating the new OE test folder and dragging or
moving a message to it close OE and then restart OE. Then close OE and move
a copy of Folders.dbx from the message store to the backup folder (after
renaming the original Folders.dbx file in the backup folder. The new
Folders.dbx file will have information on the OE Test folder.

i found a small program called DBXtract

and im geting all my filke extract to folder, im geting them but i have
to creat the folder in outlook express what ther where and move the mail
message bak in to that folder
a lot of work
but it working

DBXtract will extract the messages as individual EML files in the folder you
specify. When it completes, suggest you create a new, emtpy folder in
Outlook Express (File/New/Folder) then open the folder with the EML
messages, highlight them all (Ctrl+A will select All) then drag/drop them
into the new folder you created in Outlook Express. Do not drag/drop them
into the Inbox.

DBXtract may take quite awhile to extract all the message, particulary if
the DBX file involved is more than 50 or so MB. Be patient as it has been
known to take several days of running to get them all.
