Outlook Express extraction problem

[Tony]

I have 2 PCs at home and wanted to transfer some of my messages filed in my
Outlook Express Local Folder, eg. Hobbies, from PC-A to PC-B so I went to
C/Windows/Application Data/Identities/Microsoft/Outlook Express where all
the inbox, folders' messages are kept (.dbx) and copied to disk then recopy
to PC-B in the same folder.
However when I open the Outlook Express Local Folder in PC-B, I cannot see
the copied folders although I can see them in Windows Explorer after I
transfer from diskette.
Am I missing any step ?
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Anthony
