1 Conversion of Pegasus Email and Folders to GroupWise Presents UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA ~ HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER

2 Pegasus Before you are scheduled to be converted to Windows 2000, you need to “clean house”. Open Pegasus from your Start menu or by double clicking on the desktop shortcut.

3 Pegasus Delete all unnecessary emails from your New Mail Folder, filing trays and folders (the more files you have the longer the conversion will take) Move all emails into filing trays and folders (anything left in the New Mail Folder will not be converted)

4 Pegasus Once a folder is “cleaned up”: Right-click the folder Choose Recover deleted space

5 Pegasus Recover deleted space “When you delete a message from a folder, Pegasus Mail does not immediately reclaim the space it occupies; instead, it waits until you have deleted around 20000 characters from the folder then recovers all the space in a single pass. This deferred compression improves the performance of the program at the cost of some disk space. Select this option to force Pegasus Mail to recover the space from a folder immediately. Compression is always a safe option and does not result in the loss of anything other than deleted information. You cannot compress tray entries.” - Pegasus Help

6 Patience is a Virtue Virtue is a grace, Grace is a little girl, with dirt on her face... Try to keep Pegasus as “clean” as possible until you are upgraded to Windows 2000.
