    I have always backed up my Outlook Express 6 folders (.dbx files) by going to the store location of these folders and copying them to my external hard drive. Fortunately, I have never had to resort to needing them.
    This time however, I mistakenly moved one of the folders instead of copying it. I use the "Copy To Folder" and "Move To Folder" feature by right clicking after selecting a file. When I opened Outlook Express I noticed it was missing.
    I tried to move it back and/or copy it back to the store location but it will not show up when I open Outlook Express now.
    Does anyone have any idea as to how I can solve this problem? Unfortunately, it is a very important folder. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    I would move it again to get it out of the way and then use the File->IMPORT function...
