    I have Cdrive OE6 W98 and D-Drive OE6 W2k. I have been using only W2k OE6, set to an E-drive folder for mail storage of dbx files. If I set C-drive OE6 to the same mail folder will all be okay or will it wipe out the mail by duping its empty c-drive DBXs over top of my good DBXs?

    Thanks!

    Nope. You'll need to specify a slightly different folder..

    Tom,

    I had dual boot at one time and used the store folder from a third drive for each of the OE6's.

    Make a copy of your store folder in a fourth place (for back up) then go to the c: drive OE6 and change the store folder to the same one you are using for W2K. I bet it will work. If not you can always use the copied store folder to recover with.

    Steve could be right as I was using w98se and w98se as dual boot.
