Hmmm... Doesnt't sound like a good idea to me... Not clean enough,
since you store attachments on two disks.
What you could do though is this:
- export messages received since the transition (that have their
attachments) so you can import in the last step
- *with your preferred drive letter (E:)*, re-create on your new machine the
folder structure you had on your old machine (e.g. E:\<oldpath>
instead of C:\<oldpath>
- *simply copy* the message base from your old machine to the new one
- now hex edit the message base you have just copied and
indiscriminately replace all "C:\" with "E:\" (this will leave the
path lengths in the message base unaltered)
- you should now be able to see all your old messages as well as their
attachments
- and finally, import the messages you have exported in the first
step.
