I backed up OE Msg Files to a CDRW. The attributes on these files are
Read-Only. It is my understanding that OE can not see these files
because a of the read-only attribute. Right or wrong? How can files
be restored to OE so as to be recognized? Thanks in advance.

Thnaks for your reply. Went to web site. Downloaded Quick file to
backup e-mail. Backup worked, but I was not able to change read-on
attribute on backed up files on CD .

You can't. CDROM = CD *R*ead *O*nly *M*emory.

Copy the files to your HDD to work with them.
 
And after copying them back to HD, remember to reset RO-attribute

1. Copy the DBX files to a desktop folder created for this purpose.

2. Remove the Read Only attribute all of the DBX files will have by default.

3. OE: File > Import > Messages > select OE6 > Import from a store folder >
point the wizard to the desktop folder
