The  \MAIL folder is the root mailbox folder.  Inside of the \MAIL folder is where the user mailbox folders reside.  In a default install you would see an \ADMIN folder inside the \MAIL folder.  This would be the default ADMIN user mailbox folder.  It is into a user mailbox folder that your .pmm, .pmi, and .cnm files would go. 

I'm moving existing Pegasus email and mail folders to a new computer and they're not showing up. I can see that the files are in the MAIL

 folder. What should I do? I've searched the forum but have not found the right answer.

The task at hand is to get the new install and the old data both in agreement as to Home and New mail location being the same in old data and new setup which is probably currently set to newer multi user setup locations of c:\pmail\mail\admin (the default user location)/

The question now is where are the new messages which are *.cnm files and where are the messages folders which are *.pmm and companion *.pmi index pairs. currently.

You will either need to move the files, while winpm032 is closed, to correct location of else run PCONFIG and reset the home and mail locations. That may be a problem if the new OS system is 64bit system. PCONFIG is 16bit code and would require use of DosBox application to run it on any 64bit system or else to run PCONFIG on a 32bit machine and then copy resulting file to the 64bit setup and correct location while winpm-32 is shut down.

is a good reference for files and names and locations of Pegasus Mail files.

I have all the .pmm, .pmi and cnm. files but where do I move them to if not to the MAIL location? I have moved them to the MAIL folder and they do show up there but they are not showing up in the program itself. Should I be moving them somewhere else? My hard drive was replaced on the same OS system so that shouldn't be a problem. I did this once before with a new computer about 6 months ago and the files and folders transferred just fine from my backup.
