[quote user="dldab"]I have a user who uses Pegasus Mail 4.4.
The use copies the whole Winpmail directory to a server as a backup.
The user deleted some folders in Pegasus but would like to know if he can retrieve the Pegasus folders from the server where he copied the local winpmail directory.
The user can use "Add mailbox to list" to see the folders on the server and copy the messages (not the folder) back to the main mailbox. There are some limitations here. PMail can't have two folders with the same internal name in the folder listing and since these are copies of the original mailbox there will be problems. You can use this utility to change the internal names and move then to a local directory and then add that directory to the listing.
PMRestArch - Pegasus Mail Restore Mail Folder Archives:
http://www.lexacorp.com.pg
Usage:
PMRestArch SourceDir DestinationDir
Description:
Pegasus Mail cannot display two mail folders with the same internal ID even if they are in separate mailboxes. Mail folders also have to be Read-Write.
This causes problems when trying to view mail folders which have been archived by copying them to backup media.
This utility:
1. Copies all .PMM and .PMI files in the source directory to
the destination directory and renames them as BAKxxxxx.PMM
and BAKxxxx.PMI.
2. Ensures that the resulting file is Read/Write.
3. Creates a different internal unique ID for each file.
Once you have run this program to restore archived folders to a directory you can attach that directory using the Pegasus Mail 'Add mailbox to list' option and access the archived folders in this new mailbox.
Please Advise.
Thanks,
Denny
