Hi

Thanks for the suggestion. But (there's always a but) i'd already had a look at mbx2eml and even assuming it works OK, and it looks like it should, I still have the problem that, if I'm reading it right all the subdirectories have to be dealt with seperately. We have (at worst case) a 4 level directory structure in our local email folder and having to deal with layers individualy is a bit of a monster. I'd hoped that because pegasus can deal with mbx files there would be a way to migrate the whole structure (I can't be the only one who does a lot of emailing and need to have a filling system), but looks like I'm out of luck. Thanks agian for the suggestion.

I'm trying to migrate from Thunderbird 3.1.2 to

Pegasus.  I've searched the forums, read every relevant post and tried

every suggestion to transfer my mails and address book, but nothing

seems to work.  I've also tried Dawn, which says it's done the address

book, but in reality has only created an empty one called "c".

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Change the reference from *.eml to *.cnm to prepare for Pegasus Mail, and point to your newmail directory
