outlook express

[Guest_imported]

I could not open outlook express and had error 'directdb.dll' associated with it. The only way to resolve this without re-formatting was to install IE6, all sorted !
I backed up my e-mail folders containing the e-mails into a seperate folder.
How do I import my old e-mails into outlook express, it says I can import from other mail programs like OE4, OE5 or Outlook, fair enough, but my folders are saved in a seperate 'back up' folder like the Microsoft Knowledge Base suggested that I do, so I did, to the letter.
Please help as I do not want to lose these.
I am using Me OS.%-(

When I upgraded, I just left the folders where they were, and OE6 picked them up right away. The folders should normally be in
C:\Windows\Application Data\Identities\{long funny number}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
so if you copy them there, it should work. Post back if it doesn't.

Good luck
