157401	2003-07-04 05:49:00	I have saved my .dbx files on my new PC but cannot find any way to be able to open/view/print them. Past messages suggest that others have achieved this - could someone give me some advice please ? TIA Bryden	Bryden (4161)
157402	2003-07-04 06:21:00	Why View them? Why not in XP, open your Outlook express and go file-import-messages (then point it to the place you have your saved dbx files) , to get them into your new mail program.	Pheonix (280)
157403	2003-07-04 08:26:00	When I try to Import I get the message - "No messages are found in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open. Please select another folder or try closing applications that may have files open." I have copied the .dbx files onto my new hard drive and they appear there when I view in Windows Explorer. Any ideas I could try please ? Bryden	Bryden (4161)

They are not in any kind of order of course but at least now if I need something I can search through them. I have saved the little programme - after all the time I have spent trying to come up with a solution I think it is great. Thanks again - Bryden	Bryden (4161)

Just a tip, if you click on the subject or Received or one of the other column you can line up your e-mail by that column eg by the date they where received etc... Hope this helps	stu140103 (137)
