It is possible you will lose all the old e-mail if no precautions are taken,
find the OE folder and just copy to a new location, I can not tell you the folder path, as I do not have this installed on my system. I prefer Eudora as my e-mail client, as it supports APOP and TLS e-mail servers (which is what I run.)
Some packages of IE5.01 wont include OE. So try to find one that is over 20 megs or thereabouts, this should also include OE.
If the e-mail was downloaded, it may have already saved the attachemtns in the OE folder, I know this is how Thunderbird performs, once you download the e-mail the attachemnts automatically are saved to a specific folder.
If the e-mail was not downloaded from the servers yet, then there wont be a problem retrieving them.
