Default Can't retrieve old Inbox after clean-install of OS

Hi
After saving all of my important stuff to external hard drives, I
clean-installed the OS (re-install after reformat of HD) last Tuesday.
I then used the Files and Settings Transfer wizard to get the C: drive
back to where it was before the clean-install.
While, practically everything is now as it was before, I cannot seem to
retrieve my Outlook Express inbox (nor the Sent Items box).
As I still have copies of the C: drive on one of the externals HDs, I
have tried to copy the file "inbox.dbx" to C:\documents and
settings\paul\local settings\application data\Identities\
......IDnumber.....\microsoft\outlook express. However, this made no
difference to the availability of the "old email" in my inbox.
Can anybody help me get these mails back?

TIA
Paul
