You can't.
Why not just move all of the contents of the imported folder into WinMail's
Inbox.

Pls permit that I take the liberty to disagree.

IMHO the "inbox" should just be used for new incoming mail.

It's easy enough to create folders for the storage what has already
been read.

In OE it was a true NoNo to keep more than only a few mails in the
Inbox.
I think that the change from the flaky DBX files might have removed the
dangers given in OE.

Thank you both... Shortly after posting this question I figured out Frank's
so;ution. Too easy, I guess I just didn't see it right away.

This was quite important with Outlook Express but no where near as important
with WinMail since in WinMail each message is stored as an individual file.
However, it does seem foolish for someone to keep all of their email in the
same folder even if only because of the organizational mess.

And now, as you have it all together, do yourself a favour and create a
number of folders and sort the stuff into there ;-)
