Hi, Shayray.
Well, I'm a newbie when it comes to permissions and such, since I've always
been just one guy with one computer and never had to worry about different
user accounts until Vista came along. But I wonder if you have given
yourself permission to WRITE to that folder. I know that has tripped me up
several times. Like when WM (and WLM) told me there were no messages in my
OE store folder - until I explicitly too ownership of the folder where those
messages were - and then they were visible and imported easily.
As I said, I'm a newbie about permissions, but if it were my problem, I
would browse to that folder (or its parent or grandparent) in Windows
Explorer, then right-click on it and click Properties, then the Security
tab. And I hope someone who does know about these things will jump in with
pointers as to what to do next.
Let us know what you finally learn about this - for the benefit of others,
especially ME. ;^}
