Linux path for Pegasus Mail archive folders

Hello:

Well ...

Turns out I was doing it the wrong way. :oops:
I've been using PMail since 1998 and can't get this right?
Really quite embarassing ...

Turns

out that I was adding a filing tray from inside the 'Folders' window

with My mailbox -> Add -> Filing Tray instead of doing it from

Pegasus Mail -> Folders -> Add mailbox to list.

And of course, it was being created exactly where I asked but not where I intended.

It's all in the FAQ:

Menu: Folders -> Add mailbox to list

and not ...

Menu: Folders -> Folders -> Add -> Enter name for folder or tray

Although I can understand how I got confused.

Hopefully my (dumb) blunder will help someone else.

Cheers,

S.

Hello:

I've tried every answer found but to no avail.
If this is an (already) answered topic, please excuse me and point me there.  =-)

I run Pegasus Mail through Wine (2.15-1pclos2017) in PCLinuxOS 64 bit.

WinPMail 4.72.572, build ID 572  
Wine 2.15-1pclos2017
Linux groucho 4.12.10-pclos1 #1 SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux

I need to archive my Pegasus Mail folders within my PCLinux installation, but I cannot create folders that Pegasus Mail will actually see and use.

I have tried with winepath, first creating the folder in my /home partition and using the winepath output to tell Pegasus Mail where the folder is located with this:

 code
[groucho@groucho ~]$ winepath -w /home/groucho/pmarchive
fixme:winediag:start_process Wine Staging 2.15 is a testing version containing experimental patches.
fixme:winediag:start_process Please mention your exact version when filing bug reports on winehq.org.
E:\pmarchive
/code

and ...

code
[groucho@groucho ~]$ winepath -u /home/groucho/pmarchive
fixme:winediag:start_process Wine Staging 2.15 is a testing version containing experimental patches.
fixme:winediag:start_process Please mention your exact version when filing bug reports on winehq.org.
/home/groucho/.wine/dosdevices/e:/pmarchive
[groucho@groucho ~]$
/code

This to no avail: Pegasus Mail does not create the filing there using E:\pmarchive
or /home/groucho/.wine/dosdevices/e:/pmarchive as the path.

Apparently it is created with the rest of the mail folders, which is of no use to me.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Best,

G.
