Using Pegasus Mail v4.7

evilquoll · 10 May 2017, 07:06 PM

Some people (on another, not email, forum) have suggested that Pegasus Mail is "old" and that I should "switch to something more modern". This however is unfeasible as I have 20 years' worth of mail, including important stuff such as software licence keys, so any replacement would at the very least have to understand PMail's UNIX .MBX files, and probably its index files as well. Is there any such?

Meanwhile, I have moved my PMail installation to my NAS drive, so that I can access it from anywhere on my network, and so as to protect my mail archives from corruption. The problem I have found with this is that while it will run from the NAS on Windows 7, it cannot do so from Windows 10, Apart from reverting to Windows 7, is there any cure for this?

I wanted to refer you to the Pegasus community forum, but it seems that http://community.pmail.com/ is in error at the moment.
