I just had to rescue a hard disk from a failed computer, for someone who receives important and strategic documents (legal cases).
I placed the sata disk in an empty sata box for external drives, and copy pasted the Mail folder. Ok, simple. But because I had time, I used a partition manager and reinstalled Pmail in a partition of its own. The disk will know have a second partition for Mail, a third for Documents, and even a fourth for an alternative Operating System (in case of virus).
From this I draw a few ideas about the mailbox of Pmail. It is not really suggestions it is more like long term dreams, waiting for your impressions.
Well first, the interface for changing mailbox location is not intuitive and orthodox now. Why do I have a "Change Now" button as I have changed nothing? And change what? What is "Default"? Normally I have the path, I click on "Browse" to open the explorer, I chose or create a folder, and then I click on "OK".
But... wouldn't it be a good idea to add an option "Install Pmail in a partition of its own" ???
Ideally, I would install the mailbox in another physical drive, away from C:, but even then, a specific partition would be safer. The interface would just ask for the location and the size of the new partition.
