Can not fid DBX files on old XP drive. I know the mail is there and not gone
but Vista can not find DBX or PST files on my old drive at all.

In WindowsXP, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as
hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden
Files and Folders under Start > Control Panel > Folder Options > View.

ok,i see mail now on old drive,i have made a folder in documents on Vista and
put dbx files in and took out text file so that only dbx files are in,i
selected all files did a right click made sure read only box unchecked.Went
to mail to import and went to folder and they do not show up in folder when
trying to import.But they are in tere! :( Its like they are not there.

ust select the folder that they are in... don't open that folder
check the path, to make sure it doesn't have a duplicate folder
if they are in c:\temp and you open c:\temp, then the path will show as
c:\temp\temp
which is incorrect
