accessing sent files on another drive

When I upgraded last September, I had the vender put my old hard drive into
my new machine as a way of keeping all my old files. It is called drive D.
My new machine has XP with Express 6. My old one was Win98 with an earlier
Express (5?).

Lately I have been trying to review my sent messages from before September,
which are on drive D. But I can't find anything on the Help to change the
drive path of Express or combine old and new lists.

I can't even find the drive D "sent messages" folder which Help says is
supposed to be there. I do a search for "sent" and find nothing, even though
drive D works fine, I've had no trouble accessing other files..

Any tips?
 
Hi,

Open OE6 on the new system, click file/import/messages, browse to the *.dbx
files on D and select them. This should import the old mail files.
