P4.51 in Windows 7 - internet connection information will not save

At the present time, I'm running Pegasus as an Administrator on Windows 7.

At the present time, I'm running Pegasus as an Administrator on Windows 7.

I just installed Windows 7. Pegasus 4.51 seems to run pretty much OK (using text only option for buttons). But every time I close and then re-open the program I have to run through the set-up questions for my internet service provider all over again. I tried letting various things through the firewall, but that didn't help. It's really a drag to have to enter the Pop3 server domain, etc, every time I re-start my computer. Any ideas how to fix this?

I had a similar problem.  My cure, which is draconian, was to give everyone  full access to the pmail installation and mailbox directories.  There is undoubtedly a more fine-grained way to accomplish this with lesser permissions, but my machine is in a secure setting and I was in a hurry to get my mail backup up (after upgrading from XP SP3 to Win7).

The method works but give it some thought before implementing it.

Moving the mailbox and new mail directory to a user specific directory

(like [Drive]:\Dokuments und Settings\[Windows User]\Application Data\Pegasus Mail, e.g.)

might be the proper way to go: pconfig.exe from Pegasus Mail's executable directory may help in doing so (it doesn't move the contents, though - at least AFAIK).
