Outlook - How Do I Re-locate OE mailboxes?

How Do I Re-locate OE mailboxes?

I tried Options>Tools>Maintenance>Store Folder>folder location, and
used it to get access to all the .dbx files, which I then copied to my
new location.  Then I changed the path in OE's folder location to my
new location.  Then I tried a send to myself.  It seemed to send okay,
and Windows Explorer clearly shows the modify date for the .dbx file
changed.  However, OE itself fails to show the test e-mail in the in
box.

What have I missed?

Thanks

Big Fred

I misread the filenames - bad eyes.  My bad.
Above technique worked just fine I think.

There is a "help" for most applications. Read them constantly. They
really make computer use more pleasant. Trouble is, a good many people
never or rarely use "help" but would rather squawk for assistance.

In my experience, the "Help" files are often useless.

Yep, they are often useless...that is why the developers put them in
their programs just to annoy or miss-lead users. What a winning
attitude...what a profound finding...what a load of doo-doo.

You have obviously never had the pleasure of spending half an hour digging
through a help file, and finding nothing useful concerning the function of
some component of an application.

Unfortunately all help files are not equally as honed as others but
there are many applications with really good ones. For applications
that do not measure up there are lots of resources on the Internet if
one takes the time to look for them.

Indeed, which is why I say that help files are often useless. Internet
does not count as a help file; though I often find the Internet more useful
than the program help files.
