Copied Folders.dbx & all folders from Outlook Express...Winmail do

not see the message store.

Cannot figure out why...can not set to anything but Import Message
Store...is there another easier way?

Store is 400 plus MB and Folders.dbx has content...what is wrong with my
efforts here?

Thanks to Gordon for helping locate the Message Store in OE6...now how do I
get Winmail to see it?

Thanks all.

Scroll down to the section 'Importing from Outlook Express', follow the
instructions exactly, or you will fail.
