Pegasus Mail & Mercury

I installed Pegasus on a new office PC and it put all my folders into C:\pmail\mail.   On my PC at home the folder is C:\pmail\mail\admin. I would like to have both computers use the same directory structure so I can transfer new files easily, but I cannot seem to change the folder structure on either one. I tried mailbox location options under 'tools' / 'general' but that hasn't done anything. I would appreciate any advice. I did check the forums and the FAQ list, and I realize this is not a new problem, but somehow I'm not finding the information I need. Thanks for any help.

It's not real easy but can be done.  On the system with the mail in c:\pmail\mail

1.   Move all the files out of the c:\pmail\mail to c:\pmail\mail\admin.

2.   Create a pmail.usr file in the c:\pmail\mail directory using an ASCII editor like Notepad with one line entry of A;admin;FirstName LastName.

3.   Go to the c:\pmail\program directory and run pconfig.exe.  Change the standalone HOME and NEW mail directory spec to c:\pmail\mail\~n

Now when you run WinPMail it will go to the c:\pmail\mail\admin directory to read the pmail.ini file and start using this new folder structure.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info to verify the HOME and NEW mail directories.
