[dba-Tech] Outlook Express - Incomming Mail folder empty

Lembit,
Create a new folder: I'll call it "C:\NewMail" then copy the Posteingang.dbx
file to this folder.
(I'm assuming that's what the German version uses as the default name for
the InBox file the English version uses)

In Outlook Express click:
Tools
Options
Maintenance Tab
Store Folder
Change...
C:\NewMail
OK
OE will tell there appears to be an OE message store already there...
Click Yes, OK, OK and close OE then reopen it
You should now have an Inbox (or a Posteingang)
You can now import the other file using the Fdile Import options and while
doing this tell it not to create duplicates.

I do need a little more help, please:
I did find the folder with all the OE files.
there is the problem:
it has two files for the inbox:
one large named Posteingang....
and the other Posteingang(1)...
so it has created a new file and is pointing to the new file Posteingang(1)
any idea how i can get to OE pointing to the old file?
I have done this:
- copied both to a safe place
- renamed Posteingang(1) to weg(1)
- opened OE, but mails did not show up - closed OE
- renamed Posteingang to Posteingang(1)
still no success

anything else I can try?

Lembit
