Importing Messages from OE4 to OE5

[TopDrop]

I am having a problem trying to import my OE4 messages into OE5. I have compacted the folders, moved them to my new HDD and then tried to run the OE5 import utility. After directing the location to the backup files, OE5 says they are not valid message files. What gives?

Thanks

Make sure you bring both the .mbx files and the .idx files to the new machine. I dont know the file formats but you need both sets of files.

I have the .idx and the .mbx files in a folder. When I point OE5 at them , it says they aren't the correct file type. Do you know the next step?
