Question about Outlook Express

On my new Windows 8 PC, Windows Live Mail acted like it imported my OE6 mail store, but mail is not there after import

I read a good post by Bruch Hagen from May 2, 2013 and followed the directions.  I saved all email on a jump drive into a folder named "OE6 Mail'. WM Live acted like it saw the folder contents because it popped up a window to let me choose which folders to import.  I did the import first selecting all folders. There was a progress bar for each folder. It looked like it was working.  When it finished, WL Mail displayed a message to the effect, "all email has been saved as Outlook Express 6).

I checked that my OE6 store of .dbx files included a Folders.dbx file.

Just since I opened Windows Live mail yesterday and established the email account, messages from this account flowed into it for about 10 hours, about 91 or so emails which are new and I've never seen before. 

However, NONE of the emails or their folders are visible anywhere inside WL Mail. 

I repeated the import a second time, and I selected all the email folders again, they certainly liked they were being imported. After the import, for the second time, there were no emails shown. 

I noticed that Bruce Hagen's article warned that any DBX file over 300Mb would need to be compacted, & if still not under 300 Mb, it would have to be split into 2 or more folders.  This was not the case in my situation.  I had a lot of .dbx folders (460) but the largest one did not exceed 47 Mb. 

Is there a defect in the WM Live import due to more .dbx files than it can handle?  

So why did WM Live not import my emails?  Any help greatly appreciated
