Default OE files from Win98 to XP

Is it possible to move all the files from win98 Windows\application
data\Identities\etc to A new PC with XP?
Would the OEQBlite program do the trick?
If possible what would be the procedure?
Thanks in advance

I just accomplished this a week ago. I set up both computers on the LAN.
I mapped a drive on the XP computer to the MSOE message store folder on
the old computer. It must be done with a mapped drive; a shared network
folder won't work. I then pointed the message import wizard to the
message store location on the network drive, and let it run.

BTW, I also got rid of the default MSOE Identity at the start. I created
a new Identity, switched to the new Identity, then deleted the original
default Main Identity. Also, I did not populate the new Identity with
account information through the Wizard. I exported all the accounts from
the old computer as .iaf files, and then imported those into the new
Identity on the new computer.
