These may be copies of folders in you current mailbox and if so they will not show up in the folder list. Try using the following utility.
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This causes problems when trying to view mail folders which have been archived by copying them to backup media.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.
