All you needed to do was copy c:\pmail to c:\pmail.

Hello....

This is my first post here, so please accept my ignorance.

I have a desktop PC with a HDD with Win XP SP3 installed.   On the SAME PC is a NEW HDD with Win 7 SP1.

BOTH PCs are running Pegasys v4.7.

I would like to "easily" copy/move my Pegasys email folders, tree, contact addresses, etc., from the OLD Win XP install to the NEW Win 7 install.

Thinking it was "easy", is it not possible to "just"

1) boot up the XP HDD

2) locate the PMAIL folder

3) COPY the files in that PMAIL folder to a USB / thumb drive

4) shutdown the XP HDD

5) boot up the Win 7 HDD

6) locate the PMAIL folder

7) COPY the files from USB / thumb drive PMAIL folder to the PMAIL folder on the WIN 7 HDD?

Or.... am I over simplifying this process?

PS... if COPY is possible, does this mean it will also install over my current login / POP3 / SMTP settings with the ones from the XP version?

Thanks!

The directory paths must be the same. Look at Help | About | Info to confirm that the locations of the Home and New Mailboxes are the same for each installation.

If you replace all files it should work out of the box.

FYI....

Things are not as "easy" as just looking at an About | Help | Info to confirm a location.

I already knew the location(s) of the files:

Old XP = C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN

New Win 7 = C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN

Just "copying" the files in the MAIL folder from the OLD XP system into the NEW WIN 7 location resulted in a message stating Pegasus mail wanted to SET UP the whole software again, its connections, userID's, userPW's, etc.

How did I get around this?!

COPIED the files located in the OLD XP C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN folder **NOT** the  "IMC-3E8" or "IMC-3E9" or "RmtFiles" folder(s).   JUST the REMAINING files in the folder.

Now, not to make anyone mad, but when a person requests help - please put some "effort" into the help response.

Here is what I found within the FAQs section of the Pegasus Mail Web Page:

Problem:  I have recently purchased a new

computer, and I want to copy my existing Pegasus Mail files to it from my old machine. How

do I go about this?

 So there are TWO ways to do this.

Hope others find this helpful if / when moving from XP to Win7+ and/or having the file(s) but had to build an all new hard drive....
