Question about updating PMail on a server

I don't don't have any registry entries associated with Pegasus Mail.  I don't need them or want them unless there is no other choice. 

Pegasus Mail resides on the server but is multi-user shared, run from each employees desktop PC.  It is never run on the server itself.

I wonder about running the installer from a desktop PC as a domain admin and pointing it to the server installation.  I know I can turn off creation of the desktop shortcut and start menu entries but am not sure if anything else will be written locally that is not wanted/needed. 

One thing I discovered when I updated my personal laptop is that if leaving the shortcut/start menu items enabled results in the existing ones getting replaced.  Luckily I had pinned a shortcut to the start menu so was able to copy my command line options from it instead of having to try to remember them.

I currently have v4.63 running on a server.  It was never "installed" on this machine, simply copied from a previous one.  It is a shared installation that is never run on the server so I don't need shortcuts or mail client registry entries.  Knowing that, I would appreciate suggestions on the best way to upgrade this installation.

TIA

Brian,

 Did you copy across the Registry entries for Pegasus Mail?  Running SetPMReg would go along way. If you have Mapipm.dll, you will need to update registry for the Mapipm.dll

  1. Copy MAPIPM.DLL to the Pegasus Mail executable directory (Eg: C:\Pmail\programs)
  2. Add the following entry to the Windows Registry (I recommend using SetPMReg at Community.pmail.com download area,

    as Registry update needs administrative rights):

  • Select HKLM\Software\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail
  • Add/Modify Name string: DLLPath, with Data: Eg: c:\pmail\programs\mapipm.dl
