You could copy the whole works to a zip disk, put in bogus server names
to prevent accidental sending and receiving, the delete the folders you
don't want in the archive.  You can then run pmmail directly from the
archive to view old messages.

I use z.cmd (or z.bat) for such things. It work very nicely for moving
pmmail to a different box.  Zip the entire pmmail directory tree, copy
pmmail.zip to the destination, and unzip.

if exist %1.zip erase %1.zip
c:\util\os2\zip -r %1.zip %1
