OE6 - Can't import messages from store directory

[humanbeing]

I have royally screwed up my OE6 mail. I'm running XP. I saved my
old registry identification key in the "my documents" folder. I tried
to import messages from the file/import pull-down menu in oe6. When I
get to "location of messages" and browse, I look in C:\Documents and
Settings\Owner.MYNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities. In
the "Identities" folder, there are 9 separate registry key names.
Under each identity is a subfolder "microsoft" and in each "microsoft"
folder, there is an "outlook express" folder. When I select any of
the "outlook express" folders, I get an error message that there are
no messages in that folder.

Where is my inbox with all of its messages, and all the inbox
subfolders, and all the rest of my 0e6 folders? Can anyone help me
retrieve my folders and messages?

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook

97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook

Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.



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!
