Pegasus Mail Suggestions
Wishlist - Archiving Old Folders to avoid Backup Needs but keep accesss as READ ONLY
Hi!
I have an e-mail history going back to 1998. I'd like to have my 1998 through 2006 folders stored away from my Pmail program file structure so that I no longer have to back them up or have them part of my Pmail while I'm operating it daily BUT I'd like to be able to incorporate them in a search READ ONLY if I need to do a lookup for past e-mails when needed. Sort of like a setting that allows for me to access additional files that are archival only.
Can this be done? Is it already possible?
Thanks in advance,
Coach

What I did was create a specific USER called "Archive" using user management in the addresses menu.
Used the program PMRestArch to backup my folder structure to the Archive users home mailbox
Opened the user Archived and deleted the folders I didn't want there and in my normal user deleted the folders I mo longer want to have on line.
That was the basic, and now I have a specific folder "Must go to Archive" where I store the mail in I want archived, periodically I copy that files (using Windows Explorer) from my home mailbox to the Archive-mailbox.
But there are many more ways to go.....

Another option that may be of some use: Mailbag Assistant from Fookes Software.
It will read the emails from Pegasus into it's own format/application. Date ranges can be used for the import process, save the resultant file *.mbg. Now you can view, search, slice and dice (sort by mailbox [Pegasus Folder]), who, date and subject. When the message is being viewed you can hit reply/resend, this will launch Pegasus.
Now you could then use a Pegasus filter to gather all emails from within the date range filter to a folder and delete.
If you need to restore the Mailbag file then you would export from Mailbag to plain jane .mbx files which Pegasus can read/import back.
Mailbag is a small application, fast but with a downside -- it is shareware with a 30 day trial.
