  In the same directory where you have installed PMMAil, you will
have another subdirectory called TOOLS. There you have the files
building your address book(s): 

   ADDR.DB
   GROUP.DB
   BOOKS.DB

  Just copy these files, and maybe, too, the ADDR.MRU (the Most
Recent Used addresses) to your other PC, and you are set. 

   Look into those files, and you will see that they are relatively
simple text files, with one line per entry, and with fields separated
by a character hex DE.

  That is a question of database integrity many people have grappled
with ...

   Write a program which looks at the third-last field of the address
book line and selects apropriately. I might write such a program ..
in REXX

   Just look up Help in the Address book menus, and find out about
the export and import facilities of PMMail's address book.
