Am having a problem moving OE 6 email files from my old PC (XP operating system) to my new PC. I believe I followed the instructions correctly from previous posts which had similar issues. Specifically, I copied the "ENTIRE" OE message store folder on
the old PC to a flash drive. I then inserted the flash drive into the new PC which has Windows Live Mail 2012 installed. I then clicked: Menu Button | Import Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and pointed to the folder on the flash drive which contained
48 dbx files. After pointing to the location by selecting Browse, I got the following message: "No messages can be 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." Any help as to how to correct this problem would be appreciated. Being a novice, I'm pretty much clueless as to what I should do next. FYI: I'm running Windows 8.1 on the new PC. Thanks
