PMMs and all that ..

You can convert to Unix .MBX format by creating a Unix mailbox folder from the "Add" pop-up in the Folders window and then copying all the relevant messages from a normal folder to the new one.
Unfortunately "Folder information" doesn't tell you the disc file name for Unix folders so you will need to use a file manager (e.g. Windows Explorer) to find the most recent file with a .MBX extension in your Home mailbox directory.

Every mail client I have played with over time had a clearly defined MAIL folder with the mailboxes usually listed by name.

Took me time to figure out where the mail is kept in Pegasus and a fair amount of searching in the Forums (thank goodness for the Forums) to discover thay are listed as PMMs. As to which is which, well I can't open them outside the program so no way to know.

That being said,, I am wondering if anyone has found a way of converting these files to another format. I would like to import them into my database for example, and though it can handle a number of different mail format types, it can't handle PMMs.

Any other ideas for dealing with them outside of Pegasus?

I suggest you look into obtaining a POP3 client, and routing its output to your database.  Good luck with multipart mime messages with poor coding standards though.

But if you are a programmer, PMM files contain a 128 byte header which is the folder name, followed by individual messages in time sequence, separated by x1A  (char26) marker bytes.

If you want to get to the attachments in messages or folders, you can copy them and rename the copy to a filename ending in .UUE

If you have WinZip or some other program installed that knows how to deal with UU encoding, you can do some exploring....
