I'm a long-time user of Pegasus, and recently upgraded to v4.51. So far, so good. I also recently replaced my aging laptop (a beloved old dog of a machine running windows 2000), and am now forced [:(] to use windows 7.
My long time strategy is to keep mirrored copies of my mail archive on the desktop (windows xp) and laptop machines. With the new release of windows, my user directory c:\me is now c:\users\me. This means if I try to synchronise between the two machines, pmail.ini gets overwritten from one machine to the other resulting in a small mess. I can manually fix pmail.ini each time I synchronise, but I'd really rather not. My question is this:
Is there a more sophisticated way of keeping the mail archive in sync between the two machines, other than the brute-force method of overwriting the older archive with the newer whenever I switch from one machine to the other?
This old strategy has served me well, but the archive is getting a little big now, and copying the whole thing back and forth is no longer a quick operation.

On a slightly related note, running windows 7 64-bit means pconfig.exe does not work. Reading other posts, it seems the strategy is to delete pmail.cfg out of the programs directory of Pegasus. Since I (arguably stupidly) installed Pegasus in the Program Files (x86) directory for consistency's sake with other applications, this file was somewhat mysteriously not there. Searching around for it, due to windows 7's virtualisation issues, it creates a mirrored copy located at:
c:\users\me\appdata\local\virtualstore\program files(x86)\pmail\programs
I initially botched the setup, so Pegasus wouldn't start, hence the attempt at using pconfig. Delete pmail.cfg out of the above directory, substituting 'me' for whatever your user name is of course, and you can at least start Pegasus again, and get going.
