<p>If you run PConfig -A (in Pegasus Mail executables directory eg c:\pmail)  you will get a screen showing the file locations that Pegasus Mail is using. Modify and Save to the correct pre-existing location if required. </p><p>HTH</p><p>Martin </p>

<p>I have been using DOS PMail since who knows when 1987 at first with A UUCP connection. Thus my directory structure was very non standard  to suit UUCPM.</p><p> </p><p>Every time I upgrade the process trashes my ability to see the original folders created.  In the past more by luck I have managed to hand craft them back again.</p><p> </p><p>Knowing that, I don't know what ever possessed me to do this again without a current backup because this time after a day I still am utterly confounded.</p><p> </p><p>Each time I start up  I get a NEW set of folders and attempting to add any is just as futile.</p><p> </p><p> I have trashed and replaced every file I thought  important but am missing at least one ;-)  Or making a huge mistake somewhere. </p><p> </p><p>I even constructed what I think is the correct new install directory structure and modified the PMAIL.CFG, PMAIL.USR. PMAIL.INI. STATE.PMJ, HIERARCH.PM not all at once but keeping a copy each time for very good reason.  PMAIL just trashes some of them and writes a new set of files file for the PMAIL.INI and HIERACH.PM.  Obviously I have missed something.</p><p> </p><p>I know this is because the interrelationship of files and exact syntax are not  understood well but I can't find any reference to this problem anywhere. Worng key word probably but curse me after helping if this is at all possible. </p><p> </p><p>I am so desperate I am willing to switch to another program if I could import the email.</p><p> </p><p> What what file holds the key and appears to be the defacto reference that over-ride every other configuration?  I also need to know exactly where any configuration file must be placed as due to many previous attemtps.... </p><p> </p><p>What am I missing?  </p><p> </p><p> C:\PM32\MAIL\USER is my current path</p><p>the USER path is ..USER\MAIL+MBOX </p><p> </p><p>Is there any recovery tool that will check the configuration and at least point to errors rather than being grossly unhelpful by trasing and overwriting?</p><p>PMAIL just brings up a new install window or trashes the files I have placed there ignoring completely what is an error.  In both cases I am left without my mail folders which still exist. </p><p> Which file points to the location of the email folders that is supreme that causes this trashing an rewriting to happen. </p><p> Regards</p><p>Peter </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
