Reason for not finding the folder is because MS operating system treats it as hidden folder .....(just make sure you are looking for messages not email account or address book).

Here is what I would do.....create a folder in the root directory called C:\Mail and then create two more folder in there and called them ID1 and ID2......so you will have:

C:\Mail\ID1
C:\Mail\ID2

then you copy all the files from your identity directory to ID1 and everything from backup to ID2. Finally, open OE, go -> Tools-> Options ->Maintenance -> Store Folder and change the path of your email directory to C:\Mail\ID1 or C:\Mail\ID2.....that will allow you to look at your two sets of email database with out mixing them..........now, when you change the mail path to ID2....Create a folder in your "Inbox" called "transfer"....then move the emails that you want to transfer to ID1 to the folder (transfer)...when you are done sorting the ID2.....highlight the folder (transfer folder) and then select Export.......Export the emails to ID1....(now you will have a new folder in ID1 call "Transfer").....at this point, you can change the "Store Folder" path to ID1 and have all your email in the same location...finally you can delete the ID2 from C:\mail\.


Hope this helps.
