I presume you just copied the files to another directory? It's better to use File|Import|Messages. Point to the Outlook Express-directory, and follow the wizzard. That will include your personal folders and mails and anything.

:( tried that....it requires that you import from a specific email program and doesn't allow you to specify a file on your pc. At least that's what we ran into....clarify for me if possible. thanks

But you are importing from a specific mail program, be it that it's exactly the same. When importing you can even select which folders you do or don't want.
But what do you mean by "doesn't allow to specify a file"? As in "Import me that DBX file? Nope, won't work, you have to start the import at the original Outlook Express folder, and then select one or all folders, and all of that into an existing mail account.
What exactly are you trying to do?
