    Copy mail store from server to local computer

    I have Pegasus running on my home laptop.  It has a "My mailbox" on the C: drive and an IMAP connection to the Mercury/32 server at work.  What I'd like to know is what's the easiest way to copy the contents of the IMAP folders to new folders under My mailbox?  Is there anyway to select more than one at a time?

    If you have file system access you could (with nothing running on them) snarf the files from the IMAP user folders to a local folder then 'Add mailbox to list'.

    Otherwise via IMAP it is one folder at a time Sad

    Thanks.  I'll try the 'Add mailbox to list' approach.

    For the record the IMAPSize utility at  http://www.broobles.com/imapsize/  does a great job of manipulating IMAP folder data. 

    The backup function will copy selected folders to the local hard drive.
