That does not always work.  The way I have done it is to copy the folder
containing those DBX's, then open the "new" Outlook Express, and import the
message from the copied folder.

Yes, you need to copy the .dbx files from one HD to the OE folder directory
in the other.  Rename the file if necessary so there are no duplicate file
names.  Open the old folder in OE of your new computer, select all messages
in this folder, then go to the edit menu and select the command copy to
folder.  Choose the new folder where you want these messages copied and
presto, you have a folder integrated with the old and new messages.
