Default Wanting to Tranfer Particular Emails to another PC

I have my store located on another drive, so when I do a re-install, I keep
all my emails, my pc is for my emails, and any my missus gets, now here is
the thing, I want to transfer all her emails (.dbx files) to another pc, I
know the files are named accordingly, but I want to make sure I do it
right...I know I could just re-send the emails to her email address, but
then they would all appear to come from me, and she doesn't want that.

She has a folder within my Email (on OE), lets call it "My Folder", and then
within that folder, there are sub folders, lets say "Person1", "Person2",
etc...

Now on my Hard Drive, I am seeing one file called "My Folder.dbx" which is
big, and also the seperate ones, like "Person1.dbx", etc....

am I right in thinking I just drag those to the new pc (and the new store)
and when OE is opened it pics these up, or will it still look for them on my
pc?

Hope someone can make head-nor-tail of what I am talking about here, and get
this little problem sorted....

Thanks in advance..

Regards.
Paul.

Move the dbx files to a new folder on the other computer.
In OE, File, Import, Message Store, OE6, point the hard drive location.
A single .dbx file can be replaced.

Look under Single Folder.

Does the Missus have her own Identity? Windows Logon?
