[SEL] OT OE won't recognize and open mailbox folders

[bill at antique-engines.com]

Dave - does OE use the PST files like Outlook does?
I thought it used another format, but then it's been almost 7 years since
I've even used OE.
All I'e used since is Outlook proper included with MS office XP or 2003.
