Thank you!  The first part went perfectly.  I will try the switching bit later, as it is not so immediate an issue.

I appreciate your very helpful guidance[:)]

Hello from a newbie!

Some time ago (28/4/2006  to be exact), I somehow created and saved a blank new message - probably by some fat-finger key bashing.

This blank message now sits permanently in the "Queued mail" folder, and has a likewise permanent "1 queued message" on the bottom status bar.  Closing Pegasus brings up the dialogue box with 3 options, and even if I "delete" it, it comes back on the next open.  It also did not get cleared by any of the 2006 to 2011 updates.

So, gurus, what did I do wrong; how can I get rid of this ghost message, and how can I not do it again?

Also (if you would be so kind), how does one switch from user to user without closing the whole app?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

1.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info to locate the HOME mail
    directory.

2.  Use File Manager or Explorer and go to this directory and
    delete the zero length PMO, PMX and PMW files.

Start Pegasus Mail with the -ms command line option and then you can run as both users at the same time.

-MS (no parameter)
Start multiple sessions of Pegasus Mail. Use this switch if you want a new copy of Pegasus Mail to start up when the program is run, instead of control simply being transferred to any copy that might currently be running on your system. This switch is usually only useful when combined with the -I or -U switch to specify a user.

WARNING!!  This switch DOES NOT allow you to run two copies of Pegasus Mail that simultaneously access the same mailbox: all running copies of Pegasus Mail on the system must be accessing different mailboxes. If you ignore this warning and allow two copies of Pegasus Mail to access the same mailbox at the same time, then you will almost certainly end up with loss of data.
