Before anything from the old machine is placed on the new machine download the 4.62 installer and run it on the new win7 machine and accept the default location if offers c:\pmail and leave all blocks checked in the installer. A new default user Admin will be created and the  home mail box will be c:\pmail\mail\admin

Later old messages and messages folders and address book can be restored by copy from the old setup to the \admin location on the new machine.

http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_pmfiles.html   Will show you the old files and their names if necessary. The object is to restore old data but no old configuration or settings or anything that involves paths in settings as most/all will be different on the new machine. 

Hello,

My wife's computer had a melt down, and we had to buy her a new computer. I want to download Pegasus and be able to have all her data ie: addresses, mail folders, etc, on the new computer. I saved the Mail folder off the old computer. Her old computer was had the XP operating system, and the new one is windows 7, 64 bit. Sorry, I don't know what version of Pegasus was on the old computer. So can I simply download the new version of Pegasus (v4.62), then delete the mail folder in the new program and copy the mail folder from the old computer onto the new Pegasus folder? Will that work? Just want to be sure before I screw anything up. Thanks in advance for your help.

cheers....Vince
