    restoring backed up mail into new user profile in PMail in Vista

    I've just had to change my computer and now have Windows Vista when previously was using XP. With XP when setting up a new user ID on a different computer and restoring my backed up mail, I would simply copy all the files in the e.g. PMAIL\MAIL\admin folder into the same folder on the new computer. I have managed to setup Pmail successfully in Vista, but it will not accept my backed up files following the procedure described above. I've tried it again on an older machine using XP and it works no problem. All I get is the New Mail folder (but I can't delete or move any mail from it). I can set up and use new folders, but can't access any of my old folders. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do?
