One heads up for you to be aware of.  If you are installing Pegasus Mail on a hi-res display device (1920x1080) be prepared for all Pegasus Mail system fonts to be very small.  This includes the To:, Subject: , CC: fields, address books, configuration windows & help windows.  These fonts are hard coded so are not configurable.  If using List mode, the fonts for new message contents, the message reader window, and other windows (like the folder window) are configurable.  If using Preview mode, the fonts in all three panes are configurable. 

Hello!

I apologize for asking something which I'm sure has been posted many times (it has its own place in the FAQ!) but I am wanting to make sure I get it right because I have important information (receipts, passwords, etc.) stored in different "saved info" folders that I MUST not mess up or lose.

I have read the FAQ and have done this before (about 9 years ago) when changing to the currently dying machine when it was new. It appears I should copy the PMAIL directory in my main, 'C' drive before doing anything. After doing this, I paste all this info into a new PMAIL directory created on the new machine's 'C:' drive before then installing the current version of Pegasus (4.53) over the pasted information from ver 4.52. OK, so far?

This should preserve my files and folders in the new version and all will be right with the world. [:)] I am also using Windows XP 32 bit and the new computer is Windows 7 64 bit and that concerns me a bit, also. Will it make a difference? My directory structure looks like this:

WINPMAIL.EXE directory: C:\PMAIL\Programs
Home mailbox location: C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN
New mailbox location: C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN

So if I copy C:\PMAIL and paste into a newly created file on the new machine I'll be all right? (Please tell me it will! [:|]). If I am missing anything please advise and thank you to any and all that can help me get this right and to calm my anxiety with this move!!!

You have the right plan.  Your concern about losing anything makes it important to keep your XP install intact and backed up until you get everything working correctly on the new machine.  Worst case, you can remove Pmail from the new machine and start again.

Thank you for this. I appreciate the go-ahead for my plan. Now, just to do it without screwing something else up!!! [:D]
