the rreason I still did it in my last step, I had never heard not to use the
export/import feature before I came on here. The reason I was on here is
because I had used the export/import feature and lost all of my sub folder
e-mails. I came on here to try and solve the problem and figured out what I
did is the TOTAL problem, data loss as everyone has said would happen. I
have learned a very valuable lesson and learned the better way to back it all
up. I have tried opening up my exported files and there is nothing in the
sub folder. So it looks as though I am out of luck, unless anyone else has
any suggestions.
