How to Transfer Outlook Express .DBX files ??

[Katmandu]

I'm in the middle of the process of upgrading my wife's PC to a faster one.

I'm trying to get the Email Folders/Messages from her old PC transfered to the new PC.

The two computers are NOT networked, so I can't do the File Transfer Wizard thing.

In the past, I was able to copy/paste .dbx files into the Outlook Express folder located here....

C:\Documents and Settings\Karen\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{A88ECE78-9FE8-4683-8061-C97A995E4A56}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

For some reason when I copied/pasted the .dbx files, Outlook Express will NOT recognize them.

Should I swap in the .PST files instead ???

What do I need to do to get these old Outlook Express Folders/Messages to reappear on the new PC ??

Roger that.

On the new PC here, Outlook Express doesn't have a Folder for pst files. WTF ???

I'm going to run a Search now....
