Find the directory on the copied drive which contains the mail files (they will be *.pmm and *.pmi pairs) and note the full directory path

In Pegasus, make sure that the 'Folders' window or pane (in preview mode) has the focus.  There will be a 'Folders' menu at the top.  From the Folders menu, choose 'Add mailbox to list'.  A dialog box will appear with two radio buttons and two edit boxes.  Make sure that the Directory path radio button is chosen, and type the full directory path which you noted above, including Disk letter (A,B,C,D,etc).  In the second edit box enter an identifier of your choice, say Old Mail.

 Click OK and you will see an Old Mail mailbox at the bottom of the folders list.  That mailbox will contain your old mail folders with your old mail in them.  Either leave the old mail where it is, or copy it into folders in your main mailbox.

Good Luck!!

A couple of years ago, my Aptiva died.  I purchased an Iomega external drive, and my son copied the entire Aptiva hard drive and he has the Iomega plugged into my new computer.  Works great as I can access my photos, my Word files, etc.  But how do I access the pmail files?

I have Pegusus installed, of course, on the new computer, and have current files that I have been using for a year or so, but I had some emails saved on the old Aptiva that I would really like to access.  Guess I should not have used Pegasus folders as a filing system.  :)

Thanks for any help you can offer ....
