I need to procure the back up of my old emails which are present in the form of *.dbx files in another machine. Please tell me where do I copy these files in my local machine in order to have them in the local outlook express copy.

The default location is C:\Windows\Application Data\Identities\{big long string like this 3414E8FC-CC6A-11D5-BE4F-4000503F7026}\Microsoft\Outlook Express (in NT and above, it's under your profile folder).

You could probably put them anywhere, though, and change OE to point to them by clicking on Tools, Options, the Maintenance tab, and clicking on the Store Folders button.

There's some good info here:
