Got it. Thank you.

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.

However make sure that (*each time*) your "USB thumb drive" is
*plugged in* (and *working*) *before* you try to access is with OE. If
you forget to do it, OE will create a new 'empty' message store on the
hard drive, and you will have import everything from the USB thumb
drive. That is cumbersome and somewhat risky, so it's better to prevent
it.

Same story for unplugging: *First* stop OE, or at least stop using the
special identity, and only *then* unplug the USB thumb drive.

For the nitty gritties, see the recent (Dec 28) thread "How Can I get
OE onto an External Drive ?"). That was about an USB hard disk, but the
issue is the same, that the 'drive' is removable/unpluggable.

Any comments will be highly appreciated...

It's not clear whether or not you are aware of and using this, so I
might as well mention it:

Tools - Accounts... - Mail - click on relevant account(s) -
Properties - Advanced - tick "Leave a copy of messages on server" and
tick "Remove from server after ... day(s)".

I am familiar with what you have described above. I have "Remove from server after ... day(s)" set for 100 days, which is
probably maximum number provided by Outlook Express or the server. e-Mails older than 100 days are automatically deleted from
server.

So far I was advised to mail myself each individual e-mails, so that it ends up in the server, and stay for 100 days, or up to my
space limit, which ever comes first.

Thank you so much..

Just tick: Leave copy on server, don't specify any limit, it'll stay
there for ever, or untill your ISP gets fed up with you.

I had it unchecked, but the ISP cleared it as soon as I downloaded it for one pc. So I have it checked for 100 days, which is the
max time. Thanks.

Horribly suspicious that particular PC hasn't got it checked for some
reason best known to itself!
