This folder location seems to vary depending on how the users are set up.
My inbox, for instance, is at:
C:\Documents and Settings\Hugh Vandervoort\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{17A20437-FE98-4B68-B67B-F8FB37DE93D2}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\Inbox.dbx
You also need to have your name listed as a user on the laptop (I assume
you are) and you need to have "View all files" turned on in folder options.
I have always used the import/export dialogue for this process and it works
perfectly.
I have no idea about the listserv problem, but that might resolve itself
once you have the folders set up properly.

I am trying to store Outlook Express folders onto an HP laptop running
WinXP. I copied the folders from a Dell desktop also running WinXP onto a
CD. I found the OE file location on the Dell using the Store Folder in
tools/options/maintenance/store folder. I want to reverse the process and
put the OE files in the Store Folder on my new laptop. The problem is I
cannot find the location that Store Folder tells me where the OE files
should be. The file path is: C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\Local
Settings.......and so on. I open the CD, choose copy this file (the OE
files), and follow the prompts. When it tells me to select the location to
copy to there is no list for Local Settings under my name. How can this be?
I have established some new files in OE on the new computer, was able to
import my address book on a CD using Text File (Comma Separated Values) so
it would seem that the location must exist. I can send/recieve email
(except send to this list, see below).
