Think about it a bit more.  Do you want WinPMail carrying around all of that conversion code just for a one time process?  How much of David's time would be spent changing this code to keep up with all the other mailers? 

Hi all,

Is there any possibility to import mails form outlook express / microsoft outlook / mozilla thunderbird?

Regards 

There are conversion utilities around--check out:

For the Outlook Express folders try DbxConv. This is a utility which is
designed to convert Mail (not news) folders from Outlook Express DBX
folders to standard MBX files importable by almost any mail program.  
Pegasus Mail can read these *.MBX files directly, you simply point at the
directory containing the MBX files using the "Add mailbox to list".

For the Outlook folder there is a utility called PM2MSN32.exe from Martin
Ireland that can convert the Outlook folders to Pegasus Mail message files.   
PM2MSM32 is a specialized 32bit Mapi client that interfaces directly with
Microsoft MsExchange/Outlook (or any other Mapi mail server).  It extracts
the content of the InBox to individual text files that can be imported to other
mail systems such as Pegasus Mail.  In the case of Pegasus Mail it puts
CNM files into the new mail directory and then you can put these into a
separate folder.  http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/

For Eudora or Netscape MBX type folders you can use "Add mailbox to list to
point at the directory containing the *.MBX files.  You can also use Mail
System Converter to convert to and from a these and a few other mail
programs. http://www.interguru.com/mailconv.htm or the latest version is
always available from http://www.dragon-it.co.uk/pegasus.htm  

For the address books use Dawn, created by Boris Zakharin

* Opera
* Palm support through Palm Desktop (read only)    
* Pegasus Mail     
* Pine (PC and UNIX) -- Mailing Lists not supported
* Other programs which can use/import/export LDAP/LDIF, vCard (VCF),
Comma Separated Value (CSV), plain text, one per line or comma separated
formats or store addresses in a text file suitable for extraction

And finally, if cost is not a problem, there is also the commercial program
UniAccess for $49 for 1 user. http://www.comaxis.com/ua.htm

This is a great list.  Thank you.  Is there any chance that an importer would be built in to future versions of Pegasus?  The implementation of such a tool would be invaluable for people wanting to switch over to PMail.
