Default moving Identity to a newer computer

You select which folders to import.
Folders of the same name, Inbox, Sent items, Drafts, Deleted items, and user
created folders will put the messages in folders of the same name. Imported
folders that have unique names will be added as unique named folders.
For folders to import, folders.dbx must be included.

Ron, will this also import all the folders that the messages are stored
in?

File, Import, Messages, OE6, select other store folder, browse to the
location of the old Identity files.

I am moving everything to a newer computer, and I'm not sure how to go
about
it with Outlook Express and all my email and email folders. I tried
copying
the old Identity to the new computer, putting it in Docs & Settings

right
next to the new Identity. But so far it isn't showing up in Outlook
Express
when I try to Manage and Switch Identities. Is there a correct way to

do
this?

I have the two computers hooked up via a LAN so it is easy to copy
files
back and forth.
