Vista - empty folders imported from OE6 to WM

I've been struggling for days now......read all the related
threads.....followed the instructions.
I have got dbx files with something in them, and the import wizard seems to
pick them up OK, but when I pick up Imported Folder in Windows Mail,
everything has 0 items to view.
Can anyone help please?
I am sooooo close, yet......

See if DBXtract will extract any messages from the folders.

Hi Frank, thanks. Just before I try this, can you advise how I can check
that my data does actaully exist in the dbx files I can see on my C: It
shows they are various kb sizes, so this indicates that there is something in
them yes? Just what though. How can I view them to check??
Oh and something else came to mind, when I was in the process of the improt
wizard, there was no vision of the folders.dbx, which from all the various
postings, I think could be important

If they are 138 KB or less they are probably empty. You can examine them
with Notepad or WordPad but make absolutely sure you don't change anything.
In fact, examine a copy.
