I backed up my Outlook Express mail folders on New Year's Day.

I now have need to open a couple of them to make printed copies. Problem is,
OE won't open the .dbx files it created in the storage file.

How can I open the dbx files to read and print them?

TIA,
Terry

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!

Put the DBX files, incuding the Folders.dbx that you backed up with them, in
an empty Windows foler and use OE's File | Import | Messages | Microsoft
Outlook Express 6 and choose to import from an OE store directory (below the
list of Identities). Browse to the Windows folder you put them in.
