The old one had a failure that we were hoping to remedy so we moved Pmail to another one so we could keep functioning.

HI Gals and Guys,

I run a LAN install of Pegasus Mail and recently experienced a catastrophic server failure.  Pegasus Mail is up and running on a new server but see odd behavior that I am hoping for some feedback on.  The first several start-ups exhibited a long delay while building the folder list.  I know this was a rebuild or HIERARCH but was surprised that it occurred repeated on start-up.  That seems resolved but there is now a delay of several seconds during "Preparing addressbooks" but it's only occurring with one of the two users I run Pegasus Mail as.  What is going on during "Preparing addressbooks"? 

Edit:  There were no addressbooks but adding one solved the delay problem.  I have since deleted it and the delay did not return.  Of course this made me wonder whether any addressbook files did not get copied to the new mailbox location but I have confirmed from two backup sources that none existed (.PMR/.PM!/.PM1).

Edit #2:  The preparing addressbook delay returned after a PC restart.

Found the problem!  I am using the -V command line option and had pmr= pointing to a location on the old server.

Brian - why not rename the new server so that it has the same name as the old one?
