Move PP to a new Account on same machine

Post by jdbliss »

Is there a simple way to move my PP instance from my original User Account on my w11 machine to a new User Account on the same machine? I needed to create a new account because of an error in another program, so am moving everything over to the new account. PP doesn't show up in my start menu.

I am thinking I just reinstall and then move this folder to my new profile:
C:\Users\<original account>\AppData\Roaming\POP Peeper

Any advise on this? Thanks!

Yes, that should do it. Make sure that POP Peeper is not running when you move the appdata files.

It's not entirely necessary to re-install POP Peeper, you can just go to C:\Program Files (x86)\POP Peeper\ and run POPPeeper.exe (after moving the appdata files). But if you want the icons in the start menu, then re-installing is the way to go.

But in either case, when you run POP Peeper, you'll need to go back into Tools / Options / General and tick the box for "run at windows startup". Also re-enable "Register POP Peeper as windows email client" on the same page if you had that enabled before. These are both per-(Windows-)user settings so they need to be re-applied for the current Windows user.
