How can I transfer my POPcon configuration settings to a new server?

POPcon v4.x

Configuration is stored in the popcon.config file. Downloaded email UIDs are stored in UIDS_xxxxxxxx.dat files (one per mailbox). Both are located in the POPcon program folder (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\POPcon).

  1. Install POPcon on the new server.
  2. Stop the POPcon service.
  3. Copy popcon.config and all UIDS_*.dat files from the old server to the same folder on the new server.
  4. Start the POPcon service.

Older POPcon versions (up to v3.9x)

Configuration is stored in the Windows registry. Export the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\POPcon and all subkeys using REGEDIT on the old server. Import the .reg file on the new server.

Note (32-bit to 64-bit migration): If migrating from a 32-bit to a 64-bit Windows installation, edit the .reg file before importing and change all occurrences of /Software/POPcon to /Software/Wow6432Node/POPcon.
