Cannot find PMAIL.CFG file to delete

Yes.  When you start Pegasus the next time, it will prompt you for your setup choices, and recreate the PMAIL.CFG file accordingly.

I just updated a laptop to 4.61.  I want to switch to multi-user mode but cannot find the PMAIL.CFG file to delete. Laptop is running XP Home Version 2002 SP3

It should be in the Pmail/Programs subdirectory.  But you don't see it there, try searching  for *.cfg at the root Pmail directory level.

I did a search for *.cfg on the hard drive and it found 143 Microsoft Outlook Configuration files.  The first two were:

beartidy  C:\PMAIL  1KB  Microsoft Outlook Configuration File

PMAIL     same as above

In older versions of PMAIL I do remember actually being able to find th PMAIL.cfg file.

I did a search on my Windows 7 Premium machine and was not able to find this file.

When I upgraded to 4.61 on the laptop I installed PMAIL as a new installation but nowwhere did I see an option to install in  multi-user mode.

You did find it!  Your system labels all .cfg files as "Microsoft Outlook files" because when you install Outlook, it registers that extension as belonging to Outlook.  Open pmail.cfg explicitly with notepad or wordpad to edit it.

Thanks.  I'm planning on deleting that file, starting up PMAIL and then set it up in multi-user mode.  Is this the correct way to do that?
