Hi Bill,

Others would know more about the possibility of just replacing all the
message store files. Importing the files should be fairly easy.

Import Messages from the Backup Folder
To import your Outlook Express e-mail messages from the Backup folder:

1.On the File menu, point to Import, and then click Messages.

2.In the Select an e-mail program to import from box, click Microsoft
Outlook Express 5 or Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and then click Next.

3.Click Import mail from an OE5 store directory or Import mail from an OE6
store directory, and then click OK.

4.Click Browse, and then click on the Mail Backup folder on your desktop.

5.Click OK, and then click Next.

6.Click All folders, click Next, and then click Finish.
