Pegasus Mail FAQ
Importing mail and address books into Pegasus Mail


For the Outlook Express folders try DbxConv. This is a utility which is
designed to convert Mail (not news) folders from Outlook Express DBX
folders to standard MBX files importable by almost any mail program.  
Pegasus Mail can read these *.MBX files directly, you simply point at the
directory containing the MBX files using the "Add mailbox to list".

For the Outlook folder there is a utility called PM2MSN32.exe from Martin
Ireland that can convert the Outlook folders to Pegasus Mail message files.   
PM2MSM32 is a specialized 32bit Mapi client that interfaces directly with
Microsoft MsExchange/Outlook (or any other Mapi mail server).  It extracts
the content of the InBox to individual text files that can be imported to other
mail systems such as Pegasus Mail.  In the case of Pegasus Mail it puts
CNM files into the new mail directory and then you can put these into a
separate folder.  http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/


For Eudora or Netscape MBX type folders you can use "Add mailbox to list to
point at the directory containing the *.MBX files.  You can also use Mail
System Converter to convert to and from a these and a few other mail
programs. http://www.interguru.com/mailconv.htm or the latest version is
always available from http://www.dragon-it.co.uk/pegasus.htm
