First, let me admit that I try to never throw anything out, well email and 
document wise that is. This means that I have scads of email. Rather than save 
each as a txt file I've often used the program dbxtract to download items from 
my computers inbox and save them as eml files. After a little experimenting it 
appears that if you do this you can then access those files using the bs plus. 
I haven't played with this enough, so use at your own discression, and if my bs 
inbox suddenly goes critical I'll know I goofed big time LOL. 
Anyway heres what I've done.
1 use the latest version of dbxtractancexe to extract email from oulook 
expresses inbox. 
2 copied some of those emails into a folder which I called extras just for the 
heck of it.
3 copied that folder to the bs email folder.
4 opened the email program, at which point my original emails which were 
already present on the bs were loaded into the inbox.
5 I hit the f 2 key went to the inbox folder and then hit enter on my extras 
folder. 
6 what this appeared to do was replace or upload the contents of that folder 
and disappear the previously loaded inbox items. Needless to say their was a 
moment of panic at this end.
7 I was able to move up and down in these messages and open some, unlike the 
storage box which doesn't seem to let us open messages.
8 I returned to the folders using the f 2 key again and hit enter on the inbox 
and I have my original messages back, thank goodness LOL.
Now, this might not be of any value to some, but if you're a dbxtract user you 
might find knowing this handy. Also if you think this is going to bite me do 
let me know. I haven't fooled with it enough to know whether or not I'm 
creating a whole heap of grief for myself LOL.
Anyway I thought I'd share.
