Folders for storing old SENT files .. how to set up?

I used OE for 10 years and saved all business SENT files as a form of record
keeping, and had them in four different identities, over the years. Security
is not and issue and organizing records was the purpose. I know WLM doesn't
use identities, so what's the best way to set up folders to preserve these
old SENT files?

No need to set anything up.
When you install WLM, it will automatically import the emails from
separate OE identities, and place them in separate folders under
Storage folders. It should preserve whatever folder structure OE had.

In another post, Rob1960 wrote 'My new system is Vista', so the Message
Store will have to be moved and then imported.

Good catch. I didn't see the OP disclose that information in this thread.
