Default Outlook Express Folder

My wife is going from an old computer into a new one. She would like to copy some selected old folders into the new computer. I have tried the export and re-import into the new computer with the .iaf file. On import the error message pops up "Them import did not complete because an error occurred."

Is there an alternative method to get this accomplished? Thanks, in advance.

An IAF file is only used to export/import account information. It has
nothing to do with backup/restore operations for mail messages.
