Upgrade to 4.51

[quote user="Arsha"]

Hi,

I did a fresh install of PMail 4.51 and now searching for a way to retrieve my previous settings, address book and mail folders of 4.41 installment. I did a back-up of my files but for some reasons didn’t want to upgrade, just a fresh install. Is there any way to circumvent the auto upgrade wizard? In other word I need a way to manually upgrade from 4.41. Can someone help?

Thanks in Advance.

Your mail from the 4.41 version is stored in a directory on disk. This is called the Home Mailbox location. Your 4.51 version points to another directory to use.

If you want to use the old (4.41) Home mailbox in the 4.51 version:

1. find that home mailbox location on your harddisk (by default c:\pmail\mail)

2. close down the Pegasus Mail program(s)

3. Delete the file pmail.cfg in the 4.51 program directory

4. Restart pergaus mail and on startup enter the path to the 4.41 Home mailbox.

5. To get your mail from the 4.51 merged, go Folders -> Add mailbox to list and enter the path to the 4.51 Home mailbox. That will be added to your folders listing, so you can drag/drop the mail from there into the 4.1 folders.
