nothing!

Assuming Outlook is on the same computer, use Outlook Express' File
Import command to import the messages from Outlook to Outlook Express.
You cannot just import a .pst file from Outlook into Outlook Express.

Default How do you IMPORT a ext.PST Outlook file?

OE cannot directly read or write PST or PAB files. You have to have a
program installed on the same PC with Outlook Express that can handle
PST or PAB files. This would be the Win95 Exchange Client, Windows
Messaging, Outlook97/98/2000+. OE uses the MAPI functions to get the
other program to handle the PST or PAB file and pass the data to it.
That other program must be the default MAPI client, not OE. It uses the
default profile of that program to import data from.
