Where Does Pegasus Mail Store Mail and Identities?
Pegasus Mail keeps mailboxes in its own directory structure with users and identities beside them.
Last updated
Pegasus Mail stores mail in its own mailbox directory structure, with user identities, address books, and signatures beside the messages. Everything sits on your own disk by default.
That local-first layout makes the mail directory the whole archive. Copy it before reinstalling Windows; the program restores itself around whatever folder you point it at. Network-mode installs split the data onto shares, so back up the share paths instead in that setup.
Where Pegasus Mail stores this, by platform
Mailbox directory (mailboxes + identities)
Mailboxes, identities, and address books in one directory tree. Copy with the program closed; network installs keep the same tree on shares.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move everything to a new PC?
Copy the mailbox directory and the user configuration with the program closed. Mail, identities, and address books travel together; point the new install at the same paths.
