<p>It looks like your former install on another OS and drive was non standard and not the default location. That may have worked but it will not now on win7. Install to c:\pmail and then run PCONFIG if necessary. With win7 never install or try to use any program files location.</p><p>There are a number of files containing paths and queue information and both the pmail.cfg and the pmail.ini from another old setup should not be used or restored. Only data, messages, folders, address books etc, but not configuration files should be copied to correct locations in the new install on the win7 system. </p>

<p>PM is installed to C:pmail </p><p>I can't find in the admin folder, any other config type files with the D:path being stated.</p><p>pmail.cfg,  is in the program dir, so will have been clean installed.</p><p>Maybe I could do a search for docs containing the path.</p><p>hmmmmm... that should work.</p><p>I'll try it </p><p> </p>

<p>Win7 search doesn't seem to search in all files.</p><p>I've searched for text that i've actually copied from a file, yet the results list remains empty.</p><p>Can anybody list the files that might contain the outdated path, or at very least, indicate what the file extensions will be. </p><p>The offending file must surely be in the admin dir cos that was the folder I copied and pasted </p>

<div>Just tried editing the state.pmj file.</div><div>The next launch and close of PM caused the state file to create a 2nd Queue path. </div><div> </div><div> [QMAN]</div><div>QueueC:\PMail\MAIL\admin=893,0,1359,239</div><div>QueueD:\Program Files\PMail\MAIL\admin=890,0,1344,239</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>I'll delete the QueueC: line, until we find the file that is creating QueueD: path</div><div> </div>

<p>I think I've figured out win7 search.</p><p>You have to go to control panel, and search on options, from the list choose indexing.</p><p>then choose advanced, and the tab file extensions.</p><p>Here I added all the file extensions in Admin, and for each clicked the option to search the file contents.</p><p>windows then indexes all the data in the files in admin, making it available for searches.</p><p>At least, that's what i reckon should be the case. I can't test it until it has finished indexing, so it's a job for tomorrow.</p>

<p>Your search and  index change may or may not make any difference because only part of the trouble is in or under \mail or pmail\mail\admin location. The main problem is in pmail\programs\pmail.cfg file and you need to run PCONFIG to change that and PCONFIG is a 16bit application so you must run it on a 32 bit machine or else if using win7-64 download and run DosBox and then PCONFIG.</p><p>You could try delete of pmail.cfg while winpm-32 is closed and then restart and follow the prompts.  The file pmail.cfg is created and is not part of the distribution or the installer archive.</p><p>When setting up a new win7 machine one does *not* want the pmail.cfg file or any pmail.ini from the old system and configuration to be copied to the new install.</p><p>Run the installer on a clean machine and drive but do not copy over old stuff from other machine first. Only copy old data as needed and only after a clean install on the win7 machine and to the default c:\pmail location. If the installer exe "sees" or finds any old cofiguation and data there is trouble  like you are having currently.</p><p>To do a new complete full install check to make sure all instances of winpm-32 are closed. Compress any and all old information or files related to Pegasus Mail into an archive file like .zip or .7z to "hide" it from installer. Then run the installer exe and accept the default c:\pmail location. Then reenter information according to the prompts and choices you will be presented. Then after you have tested and have program running successfully and can download and send email you can shut down winpm-32 and then begin to restore old mail box data and address book information only, no configuration data from old machine. </p>

<p>Yes, I think you are right - a fresh install is the way to go (my pc is win7 64bit - ultimately with PM running under 64bit ubuntu/wine).</p><p>As for the offending file in admin.... search identified desktop.pm0 </p><p> containing just 1 line:</p><p> 0:D:\Program Files\PMail\MAIL\admin </p><p> Whether this is creating a prob.... I don't know.</p><p> I think that what this shows is that the filing system would benefit from a sub-folder in admin, where identity, and config data, could be stored.</p><p>This would still allow all data to be backed up, but would facilitate data transfer to new pc's.</p><p>However, until that happens..... is there a definitive list of file extensions that should be copied into admin, after a clean install?</p><p> NOTE:- As a matter of interest, in fact desktop.pm0 was the offending file.</p><p>I've just edited it to the correct path, and queue now works. </p><p> </p>

<p>Yes... point taken.</p><p>What I meant was that I'm currently getting PM to work in Win7, but ultimately intend to run it under ubuntu/wine.</p><p> My lack of clarity I'm afraid.</p><p>@ Jerry & Michael.... thanks for that confirmation re the file lists.</p><p>Hans's list is very good, but, in the nicest possible way, I'm going to make a suggestion (and will email him).</p><p>What would be great, would be a marker to denote which files should be added to ADMIN (and another identity if different), from a previous PM, when installing PM afresh.</p><p>I do recognise Jerry, that you did outline the sort of files to paste to ADMIN, but that sounds like, only 5 types of file ie. 5 different extensions.</p><p>Is that correct.... and if so.....what are the file extensions?</p><p>The reason I ask is because, with that exact list, I can do the job quickly and easily without risk of error.

Then you need the address book file pairs to have your address book information. Additionally you may want any .pml distribution list files.</p><p>You may, optionally, want your old winpmfua.pm recently used addresses. With rules files and several other things it is better to recreate them and reenter the data and any current paths as almost all rules contain path information as well as folder id information than may or may not be the same now on the new machine. It is good to view the old machine files just for information to assist in creation of the new machine files via the GUI. In dealing with win7-64 even the .fff files from old machine are seldom usable on the new machine and paths and even executable names are often different with 64bit version of the same applications.</p><p>Where many problems come in is if you had files you stored below \mail and below that you want and need and want to have included in your routine backup routines. Those are separate matter and only serve to inflate the contents of c:\pmail and below needlessly. At no time has winpmail ever stored anything in Desktop and Settings or ever stored or installed anything into any Program Files location or below. All winpm-32 contents are stored in c:\pmail and below and there are only a couple of registry entries even used by Pegasus Mail.</p><p>There is no "wizard" type application to move an old install and contents to a new machine. There is no check list or marked set of files to copy in existence that I am aware of. If there was one in the  past I would bet it won't work correctly now with win7-64 systems. It is not winpm-32 that has changed, it is Windows 7. What worked fine for many vesions and many OS's up through XP is now very different and there is little choice except to do as Win7 wants you to do<G>. </p>

<div>Ace,</div><div> </div><div>Jerry gave you good advice.  This process is not an exact science.  Everyone uses Pegasus Mail a little differently.  Some folks use content control some don't, same with spamhalter, distribution lists, multiple address books, white lists, etc.  This makes determining which files need to come over unique to each user.  You have done a great job identifying the purpose of the files now you need to decide which files are important to you.  The more of them you can recreate from scratch the safer you are.  First get Pegasus Mail fully configured in the new install then compare the files in the newly created mailbox folder with your list.  Look at the missing ones to decide whether they might be important.  If in doubt leave them out, you can always copy one in later if you identify a specific need.  Next, consider whether you need the old address books, distribution lists, white lists and bring those over.  Rename any files of the same name first just in case you need to restore them.  Test often to make it easier to identify a potential problem file.  </div><div>I have posted your list below and used strikethrough to indicate the files I would not bring over.  Many of the files in the Pegasus mailbox folders can be viewed with a text editor so if you can't figure out what one is try viewing it to see if you can get a clue.  Also check date stamps and forget about any unknown files that have a really old date stamp.   </div><div> </div><div>Qty.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Filename<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>      Extension<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Short description</div><div>__________________________________________ </div><div>111<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>PZWXVTFM<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>CNM<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>new message not yet stored to a folder ie.
