How to move imap (this computer only) folders into Exchange Online

I have moved a customers emails into Office 365 from an old imap service. All the emails have copied across apart from the folders marked as "this computer only".

I exported the whole mailbox to a pst using the Outlook export function. When I import the pst back into the Exchange Online mailbox the "this computer only" emails are missing.

How do I move these emails over ?

What method did you use to import?
Depending on the quantity I would even do it manually copying items from one folder (located on the PST) to another (located on the Cloud).

Thanks Amit - The section "Create a local pst file video tutorial" resolved it for me.

I created a PST, manually copied each folder into the pst file in Outlook.

Then I opened said pst under the new Outlook profile where the new Office 365 account was configured and manually copied each folder into the new mailbox.
Thanks for the update and points. Hope this will help others too.
