Topic outlook express problem

eshana27

I decided to back up my whole Inbox into an external new HD. I found the inbox folder and renamed it to move it to a new folder. But then I discovered in panic that the whole folder had dissapeared from my OutLook Express client and when I tried to import it back to OE there was this warning :the "folder could not be found or was in use by other application". Now this problem is beyond my power and I will indeed appreciate your help to get my inbox folder back to OutLook Express, before I do something else wrong. I know where the folders are but I guess I have a problem with the renaming that I am unable to solve. Please Help.

Merry Christmas,

Did you try booting in to safe mode and trying to import the files?

When booting up hold F8, and select boot in safe mode.
This should resolve the problem of it being used, and should resolve your problem.

well... you could always save your emails in .pst format that way when you want to backup just copy the .pst file over anywhere and open it from Outlook at another time or another computer its easier than copying the whole folder
