That's because it doesn't work that way. Copy your dbx files into a new
folder somwhere on your HDD. Remove any Read-Only attribute. then in oE go
to File-Import and navigate to the folder you copied the files to. Be
warned however, if you did not copy the file called "folders.dbx" then OE
will not recognise the folder as a message store. there is a way round
this, but it is a bit laborious.
