I am not familier with the process, although I use USB thumb drive for
file transfer. How do I set the OE to open the .dbx files
from a different place other than what OE normally uses for individual
users?


Create another identity in OE. Use OE's own help to figure that out.
Then specify that the message store for that new identify is in some
path on the thumb drive (go to Tools - Options - Maintenance - Store
Folder). That is where I changed my identity's store path to be on the
2nd hard drive (D so I wouldn't lose my message store with a reformat
of C: when reinstalling Windows.
