My hard drive crashed and burned today, but luckily I have been taking regular back-ups.

I have been backing up my OE emails, and storing them as dbx files in a folder on my external drive. All well and good but I can't figure out how to import them back into my new OE on the new hard drive !

Any ideas ?

Just copy 'em back into the OE folder overwriting the defaults created by the new install.

Thanks for that, but I think I've played around with it too much - I changed the store folder to a new folder on the desktop, which still didn't work after I dragged the files in there.

Any other ideas ?
