Yes, open the folder containing the .dbx files and WM>resize the two windows
so they sit side by side>create or use the appropriate mail folders in
WM>select all messages in the .dbx folder and drag n drop them over.

The .dbx files need to have the Read Only attribute removed prior to any
action.

Thanks Steve.
I can't see the individual messages in the dbx file, though.
I'll just drag the dbx file and drop into appropriate WM folder.
(after checking the read-only status)

I'm running into something unexpected.
When I drag the dbx file top the Inbox in WM, a new email is opening
with the dragged dbx file as an attachment.
The dbx file is not becoming a sub folder of the Inbox.

is the dbx fille a file or folder...looks likie a file to me...it`s
not a yellow folder....and trying to open it, Windows asks me what
program to use.

Where are the imported .dbx files? You must save them to your hard drive
first>remove the read only and then you should be able to see the individual
..eml files?

You need to have exported Folders.dbx along with any other *.dbx file from
OE for the import to WM to succeed.

I did export Folders.dbx as well
I had imported everything but somehow lost it all. Now I have some
emails that I don`t want to lose in WM but I have ALL these other
emails I would like to re-import.

Maybe I`ll export the few emails I have now, import the other stuff
then hopefully I`ll be able to import the few emails I have in WM now.
