richardc2000 is on a distinguished road
Yep - that is why I mentioned copying the folder to another spot then importing the messages from there - you can delete this folder afterwards. The message is saying that OE is open and as a result you Store Folder is open so you can't import from the open folder to the stored folder as they are the same. You should be able to import ALL the folders from the copied ones providing that the none of the files are messes up, which could be the case.

My personal choice for a new store folder would be something like
D:\oe messages bads
1 -create this folder
2- point OE to the folder
3-import NOT copy messages to D:\oe messages bads
N.B. somewhere along the line you have to reboot for the messges to be
copied over.

if this works - you can change it to whatever and whereever you wish
the idea of using D:\ is that when you reformat C:\ your messges are SAFE
Mine have been on D:\ through at least 6 formats of C:\
