Subject:Re: Mail Dump

Well, it's not simple to save from the GUI, but I've been running Peagsus mail
for over 10 years, including numerous upgrades, and I have never lost a single
email.

I do save my mail by simply copying the maildir to another drive every few
days.  Which is nice when windows does a fatal dive, which it has 3 or 4 times
during that period.

It is also really easy to move to another box, since there are NO registry
entries.  Just copy the directory to the new machine, install the exe file, and
set the directory in the config, and everything works again.
