I don't believe you can open them - That's just where they are and Jeff is backing them up. If his OE crashes, he can put them back in there and have his mail saved. That's one reason I just save my mail by dragging to another folder. then if I want to read it, I click on it and it opens in OE - I save mine, more because I didn't get to do what I wanted with it yet - like if it has fonts attached, then I can save it and later open it in a folder and save the fonts and delete the e-mail.
