Windows 7 / Multiple instances of PMail (4.51)

[quote user="ECourts"][quote user="SvenH"]

Works like a charm for me. What command line switches are you using exactly? Have you created separate desktop shortcuts for every user?

I'm not using any command switches. I actually have over 30 different email accounts/users to access and wanted Pmail to stay as a single icon on the task bar, such that I enter the user name when it starts up. This was how it worked under Vista - each time I clicked on the task bar icon a new PMail session started up, I entered the username and the application started. I could do this as many times as I needed. Having 30 or more icons, one for each user would make the taskbar a bit busy [:)]

I don't know *why* it worked under Vista if you do not use any special command line switch, at least it shouldn't. In order to open a *new* Pegasus Mail instance where you can enter the user name at the beginning you *must* use the command line switch -MS.

Since I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 (RTM) I can no longer run multiple instances of PMail (so I can manage different mail users). Once a single session is running, no matter how I try to start Pmail I it always brings up the running session and never starts a new session for a new user. To change mail accounts I need to exit the current session and start a new instance of the program. Any thoughts how to start multiple PMail sessions under Windows 7?

Thanks for any help....
