The easiest and most reliable way is to set up a local IMAP server (I
recommend dovecot, it's really easy for simple set ups), create a new
IMAP account in Outlook and move the mails to the IMAP server. After
that you can access the mails from every client supporting IMAP (which
is probably every client worth using in the first place).
I don't know how to import the old dbx files into another, existing
Outlook installation, though.
