Vista - xp dbx files moved to windows mail

I recently change notebook that runs vista windows mail.
where could I find the emails dbx file folder of windows mail?
I would like to copy my dbx files to windows mail from the old notebook
using xp outlook express that I now saved them separately in my hard drive
of the new vista notebook.
can I do it and how?
Thanks.

Directions from another site:

3. Backup your mail folders.

In OE, click Tools| Options| Maintenance| Store folder to see the path to
the folder currently being used for your message store. Open Windows
Explorer and navigate to the Store. Copy the Folders.dbx file and all <mail
folder>.dbx files to your backup media. It is not necessary to copy any
<newsgroup>.dbx file because OE will not import newsgroup messages, only
messages in mail folders. You must include Folders.dbx in your backup or you
will be unable to import the mail folders!

To restore your mail folders, open Windows Mail and click File| Import|
Messages| OE5 (or OE6 if OE5 is not listed)| Message store directory, then
browse to the folder containing your old messages. Do not copy the backup
files into the current OE message store or the import will fail. If you
saved your backup on a CD or a networked drive, you will need to copy the
backup to your hard disk and verify that none of the *.dbx files are marked
as "read only", or the import will fail.
