How to move local folder in Outlook Express to new installation of OE? ? ?

[WJB05]

Because I really screwed up an installation of Win-XP I have installed it again on the same PC to attempt to save data before reformatting and starting over. As a result of the second installation a new copy of Outlook Express was installed. In the original installation I had created local folders to store e-mail, and have found those files in the old installation. However, when I move those files to the new installation they do not appear in OE. I successfully moved the address book. I probably should have exported those files and then imported to the new installation. I had not done that because this was an unexpected new install. Is there any way I can use the folders I created in the original installation? Thanks.
