Importing copies of mail folders to OE6

[Karen]

I am trying to import copies of my mail folders to my laptop from my desktop,
and I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried the "import" feature, but it
doesn't see the .dbx extension on the file folder, no matter if I put it in
the OE6 folder under Program Files or anywhere else on my computer. I've
tried just dragging it to where my folders are, but it just wants to send it
in an email. Is there a way to get my folders into OE6?

Thanks!
