Note: I'm a new user too and I just went through this. It's really
not that hard if you can export them all at once and as long as they
contain all of the headers in each text message.
If you can do the above, then just go to Import, and in the dialog
box, go to the folder where they exist. Use the pulldown menu to
select ALL files (*.*). Click on the first file name, then go to the
end of the list, press the [Shift] key, and click on the last file
name. You should now have all messages selected.
Then just press O.K. (or whatever the button says) and they should all
be imported.
It will help if you have filters set up first.
If not, do it folder by folder. That's how I did it.
HTH,
Derek
