This is what I did

Daniel,

Here is what I did. I don't know if it will work for you, but I hope so. First, I installed Incredimail on my new system. It created a new user account like this:

C:\Program Files\IncrediMail\Data\Identities\{XXX-XXXXXX-XXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX}

What I did was copy my old identity folder (with the '{' curly braces) to the C:\Program Files\IncrediMail\Data\Identities\ folder. I then proceeded to copy and paste the new identity folder name to a text editor, so I wouldn't lose it. Then I just deleted the new folder and renamed the old one as the new one. Don't use the default user folder because it doesn't seem to work. In fact, I just deleted mine, but that's up to you.

So under C:\Program Files\IncrediMail\Data\Identities\, I have:

\{59078E56-2F8E-437C-8838-XXXXXXXXXX}
Should be unique to your computer. Has the following subdirectories:

\AddressBook
AddressBook.imb
files.imb

\Message Store
.....folderName.imm
.....folderName.imh
.....\Attachments
..........\{1B08E62B-F775-11D5-8766-XXXXXXXXX}
..........\{1B08E62B-F775-11D5-8766-XXXXXXXXX}
..........\{etc....}


So there you have it. Sometimes I rue the day that I downloaded all of my mail to Incredimail. Right now I'm working on a script to extract all of the text a reformat it in just plain ASCII format. It shouldn't be too difficult using Linux and the 'strings' command with 'sed' and 'awk', but I'm learning Perl, so I'll try it with that. If I get something useful, I'll post it on here. Good luck!

Anthony
