That sounds like the files are residing on a CD. You cannot change the
Read-Only attribute of a file on a CD. You must copy the files to a folder
on your hard drive, then clear the Read-Only attribute, then open Outlook
Express and try the File/Import/Messages, selecting to import from a message
store. See more info at this link:
