The attached whitepaper was created to assist users who needed to move their mailbox directory. The need was prevalent when Windows 10 broke Pegasus Mail for everyone who had it installed in the \Programs Files directory. Fixing it required a clean installation of Pegasus Mail to an unprotected directory followed by a restoration of the mailbox data from the old Pegasus Mail installation. The process is also appropriate for anyone who needs to copy mailbox data to an installation of Pegasus Mail on a different PC or who is having problems with Pegasus Mail and wishes to start with a clean install while maintaining their data.
There have been some changes to Pegasus Mail since it was written but it remains a valuable resource. Specific questions about the process can be posted in the Community Discussions and Support category of this forum.
