 I feel that more questions may arise.....

Hi My family currently use Seamonkey for all our email ( 4 users with 9 different email addresses).  We now have 2 computers networked thru a modem router and it would be nice to be able to access our email from both pc's ( i don't think seamonkey will allow that).

I am correct in thinking that although pmail will work for us I would not be able to see everyones email folders on one screen without changing identities?

Yes.  Here's the basic setup and I've thrown Mercury/32 into the picture as well because it makes sense with the number of e-mail addresses you are using.

1.  Install WinPmail in the multiuser mode on the "server".  Use
    c:\pmail for the program; c:\pmail\mail for the mail
    directories.

2.  Run PCONFIG.exe and change the HOME and NEW mail directory
    specification to the \\server\vol\pmail\mail\~8 format.

3.  Go to the remote workstations and install a shortcut to the
    common program.

Ok, now you have the basic mail system setup.  You can send mail to
each other using Pegasus Mail.

4.  Install Mercury/32 on this same server pointing to the Pegasus
    Mail directory structure.  Use MercuryD, MercuryS, MercuryC at
    least. Use \\server\vol\mercury\queue for the mail spool directory.

5.  Point MercuryD at all of your POP3 mailboxes to download the mail
    to your Pegasus Mail user directories.

You now can send and receive Internet mail via Pegasus Mail.  The
mail is delivered to the Pegasus Mail directories automatically.  You
send mail simply but putting the output files into the Mercury/32
mail spool directory.  This is accomplished automatically with a
Pegasus Mail User Defined Gateway.

6.  If you want to maintain use of SeaMonkey then use setup
    MercuryI as an IMAP4 server and then point SeaMonkey at
    the IMAP4 server.  This would be a good way to move the
    mail between the two applications anyway.

You can do a complete inbound and outbound mail archive with this
setup using a simple Mercury/32 "Always" filter that put a copy in a
users mail directory.
