I don't know anything about Windows (Live) Mail and the formats used for it's local folders ...

... but she has a GMail-Account so she may use IMAP (for migration or in the long run) instead of POP. This means, all mails are on the host at your provider and any mailclient may access them there. So - in the mailclient used at the moment (Thunderbird?) access the mailaccount via IMAP and copy or move all mails to her mailbox at the host of her provider. Install Pegasus (not in program-directoy of Windows - use C:\PMAIL), configure it using IMAP and SMTP and you have all her mails again. If you don't want to use IMAP, copy back the mails down and install a POP3-Connection in Pegasus.

Hello all you boys and girls in Pegasus Land!

I am trying to set up Pegasus as my partner's email client. She uses Gmail and when she had a vista machine (which recently gave up the ghost) she used windows mail. Her new machine running windows 8.1 (which she hates) runs the new MS mail client.

She does not want all of the bells and whistles -just a email client that she can send and receive emails from. A friend suggested Thunderbird -she tried it for a month and could not get on with it.

I found Pegasus and it looks like it will do the job. HOWEVER....

Can someone give me detailed instructions on how I can transfer her mail and folders (currently stored on a UBS hard drive) into Pegasus?

There is a lot on the net about T/bird from Pegasus but not the other way around!

Because my knowledge of computers is very basic, when I say detailed instructions, I do mean detailed!

Thank you very much in advance
