I promise that if you simply copy the whole pmmail directory from each machine to the one you want to have all, you will have
all emails and all folders as wanted. In addition, you will only have the LAST copy of MRU (most recently used) addresses,
indexes (folder bags) (which a reindex will fix). You will not get a composite of all address books; again, you can cc their
TOOLS directory and have the last one cc'ed. Perhaps you can export them to a new file and import all together - prob a not
to hard way to do this?
I have cc'ed whole pmmail accounts via pmmail and tools directory copies, between win98, win2000, os2, and winxp without
incident.
