Windows Mail Import Wizard button stuck on wrong selection

Hi all,

Using the Imort Wizard wanting to import OE6 mailmessage from one of 5 directories I accidentally
hit the wrong button on the Import Wizard in the frame: set location.

I erred and hit "Import E-mail from an OE6 Archive/Folder", the lower button.

I should have hit "Import E-Mail from an OE6 Identity".
That button is now greyed-out and stuck whilst the other, incorrect, button is active and stuck.

When re-opening the Wizard and reaching the set location frame I cannot switch to the correct upper
button for OE6 Identity import. Rebooting did not help.

How can I un-stick the buttons, allowing to make the proper OE6 Identity choice?

Curious,

Maria

Re: Windows Mail Import Wizard button stuck on wrong selection -- workaround

Meanwhile I created a workaround.

Since the above button is stuck on OE6 folder/archive/store I separated Identity 1 of 5 by copying
its .dbx contents to a new file called C:\Old Mail.
Do not forget to include folder.dbx as it represents the foldertree.

I then ran the Windows Mail Import Wizard, stil stuck on archive/store, for importing that directory
alone and Bingo.

As I have installed Steve Cochran's WMID (Windows Mail Identities) Utility I will repeat the process
another 4 times and leave the button stuck as it is.

HTH for others,

Maria
