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 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?
