Ervin,
I recommend you take a look trough this document. After you do this (but on
the same machine as you're using) then do file import mail & addresses -
from outlook express 6. Windows will find every store on your computer, at
which point you can import them into your new store. 

In the case of having inbox, inbox(1) and inbox(2) you can drag all the
messages between folders to organize them appropriately. then delete the
extra inboxes.

BTW once you have your email folder set up as recommended above I recommend
you copy your address book to that location and go into tools accounts and
export your accounts to that folder. In this manner you can easily backup
your OE email stores, addresses and account info.

HTH
John

Subject: [AccessD] OT: URGENT: The Inbox of my Outlook Express is gone

When I launched this morning the OE it created a fresh new Inbox (1).dbx and
my emails and folders from the Inbox folder(exactly from the Inbox.dbx) of
the OE weren't visible. Then I renamed the old Inbox.dbx to Inbox (1).dbx
and now the emails from the real(old) Inbox folder are visible. But the
problem is that the folders from the "old" Inbox folder aren't visible.
I suppose that I need to force the OE to consider(to shift back to) the
Inbox.dbx as the default Inbox folder(and not Inbox (1).dbx as now) and then
the tree structure of my old Inbox foder will be repaired. But I don't know
how find out where the OE stores the information about the default location
of the Inbox folder? Are there any hints?
Many thanks in advance,
 Ervin
