First install v4.63 by running the distribution archive exe on the new machine and using the default offered c:\pmail location as the destination. You may configure and test.

Then later copy only the desired data files or message or address book file pairs plus any *.cnm files (new mail messages) to the c:\pmail\mail\admin on the new machine install. Leave all other files behind or if using compressed archive from old machine extract only the files needed. Make sure any files copied or moved are not marked R (read only) attribute at OS level and if so remove that attribute on the new machine location,

is reference to files, names and locations. 

If you need old connection information best  plan is to print out the old .pmd file contents to use for reference in setting via the GUI on the new machine install.

Direct copy of pmail and below from old machine could only succeed *if* old machine install was in c:\pmail location and even that would only get you part way there. You would still need to run the v4.63 installer to set  proper registry entries and other things and mailto protocol etc.. on the new machine.

Greetings, All.

I have Pegasus installed on a Panasonic Toughbook laptop running Windows 2000 but want to "move" Pegasus and all it's files (and ALL of my email messages) to a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop running Windows 7. I had thought about simply copying all of the files, but Pegasus is installed on the D-drive on the Panasonic and would be installed on the C-drive on the Lenovo.

I am currently at the mercy of anyone gracious and knowledgeable  enough to point me in the right direction since I do not own a paid license for Pegasus.

Any hints or tips, or directions to a document with steps (I looked but couldn't find anything)  would be wonderful! Thanks to anyone who has an answer for me.

Sincerely,

Andrew Woodard
