I have another question on importing mails. I found that it would not import 
to the root folder of the "Local Folders" but I have to create a sub folder 
to import it. Thats where I skipped this on Saturday.

Did you move all folders out of that sub folder again to have them under the  
top the folder hierarchy? If so, did that work without moving i.e. copying 
and deleting all mails again?

Thanks,
