What target system? Did you consider the issues described in this thread?

I installed Pegasus on a new office PC and it put all my folders into C:\pmail\mail.   On my PC at home the folder is C:\pmail\mail\admin. I would like to have both computers use the same directory structure so I can transfer new files easily, but I cannot seem to change the folder structure on either one. I tried mailbox location options under 'tools' / 'general' but that hasn't done anything. I would appreciate any advice. I did check the forums and the FAQ list, and I realize this is not a new problem, but somehow I'm not finding the information I need. Thanks for any help.

structure on either one.

It's not real easy but can be done.  On the system with the mail in c:\pmail\mail

1.   Move all the files out of the c:\pmail\mail to c:\pmail\mail\admin.

2.   Create a pmail.usr file in the c:\pmail\mail directory using an ASCII editor like Notepad with one line entry of A;admin;FirstName LastName.

3.   Go to the c:\pmail\program directory and run pconfig.exe.  Change the standalone HOME and NEW mail directory spec to c:\pmail\mail\~n

Now when you run WinPMail it will go to the c:\pmail\mail\admin directory to read the pmail.ini file and start using this new folder structure.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info to verify the HOME and NEW mail directories.

Thanks! Your solution was clearly explained and worked first time. I really appreciate your help.

Problem:  I have recently

purchased a new

computer, and I want to copy my existing Pegasus Mail files to it

from my old machine. How

do I go about this?

Solution:  Follow these steps 

-

1: Install Pegasus Mail normally on the new machine. Create a

mailbox for yourself.

2: Run Pegasus Mail on the new machine, then without doing

anything else, select

"Help", then "About Pegasus Mail". Click the "Info" button,

and find the entry in the list called "Home mailbox location".

Note this

directory down on a piece of paper, then cancel out of the dialog

and quit from Pegasus

Mail immediately.

3: Run Pegasus Mail on the old machine. Repeat the steps in (2),

noting down your old mail

directory.

4: Copy all the files from the directory you found in (3) into the

directory you found in

(2). The easiest way to do this is usually across a network if you

have one, or via a

PC-connection program such as PC-Anywhere, but you can also do it

using floppies or backup

programs.

The next time you run Pegasus Mail on the new machine, it

should see all the same

mail files and settings that you previously used on your old

system.
