changed account name, move letters to new acct

I had an account, with lots of mail.
Then I changed the account name (the email address did not change).

So now there is mail in the old name account (deleted, sent, draft, archive).
And I believe there is mail in the old name account inbox.
I would like to put all mail in the new account.
How can I do that?

If I could simply move files using windows explorer, that would preferred.
thanks

If you change the name of the account using POP Peeper, then all the files associated with that account will also be moved. If Sent Mail Viewer was still running at the time, then you would need to simply exit/restart Sent Mail Viewer so that it can refresh.

Otherwise, you can just move the files manually to the new folder. Select an account in the Accounts List, and then from POP Peeper's main menu, select View / Explore / (whatever) to get to where the files are stored (easier than manually navigating to the folder).

I moved the *.eml files to the new acct.
And I can view them with the "Mail Viewer" in new acct.
thanks
