Default opening OE messages on external HDD

Hi,
I have an external HDD with OE 6 installed. On this drive I have many
messages that I need to frequently access. So far I have been swapping the
HDD on my computer (notebook) whenever I needed to access these files. Is
there a way to open the messages on the external HDD with its OE interface
without moving them on to the internal HDD?
Thanks,
AJS

OE can only read DBX files in it's message store.

You can import the DBX files into OE. If you don't want to mess up your
existing messages, you can create a new identity in OE for this.
