Silly question maybe but the assumption is that you are exporting because you want those messages in a different mail client maybe Outlook.

Have you tried doing this the other way ie open the other Mial client and import to it rather than export from OE?

If you want to export for a different reason what reason is that?

You sorta hint you may have changed some user settings so another possibility is that you are not now logged in as the user with full access to the database you are trying to export but may still be able to find and move the files by looking through the "documents & Settings" folder on the Main drive.

If all esle fails the settings and folders transfer wizard may be a way round as that also includes an option to save mail settings and messages too.

Anyway a few extra things to try hope one of them helps.
