Maill, Newgroups in Outlook Express

[Andrea]

Hello,

I had to reinstall Windows 98SE (from options/cabs) and in the process lost
my mail, address book, and newsgroups. I located the old address book,
renamed the new one, and saved the old one, and that seems to be working
okay. But although I've found all my old mail and newsgroup posts (dbx
files) in Windows/Application Data under Identities, I don't know what to do
with them. I don't think they're corrupted, or at least I'd like to take a
chance on them being all right. Could someone tell me how to go about
correcting this? Thanks.

Andrea
