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.
