Those were some good suggestions. I went ahead and coded the project using a 
hard-coded location for the folders and files I wanted to "ZAP", and I was 
able to move and delete the duplicate files in the Junk Email folder. But I 
found that mucking with the files in Windows Live Mail causes problems so I 
may need to do something different.

Probably I can just use WLM to move most of the files to another folder and 
copy them elsewhere and then delete the duplicates and put the remaining 
files in a compressed folder for backup. But, really, I just need to save 
important emails as I receive and send them, and stop thinking that I might 
someday get the time to read the others that usually have limited interest 
and are irrelevant after a couple of weeks. I get about 100/day so they pile 
up quickly!

I got some helpful information in the Tek-Tips forum:

OpenDialog1.InitialDir := GetCSIDLPath(CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA) + 
'\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\';

Thanks for the help. At least I know that this newsgroup is still active and 
useful :)
