Newcomer trying to set up MailBoxes?

Thank you Rolf;

 (I'm so used to Turnpike that I didn't realise that it must have a built in server to distribute mail as it does. Obviously rather different from other mail clients.)

I've just tried to install Mercury by just going for it. It seems to be a case to 'Read The - Manual'

I will definitely study the information you pointed me to. I hope the learning curve is not too steep but if it does what I want it will be worth it.Thanks again,

Please can someone familiar with

Pegasus Mail help me or point me to the information howto do it?

(Is Mercury relevant??)

And please forgive the long description.

My ancient Turnpike 5 email client

enables use of a single 'domain' and single login password with any

number of Users

(Single PC - Windows XP or Vista or 7

using broadband always connected ).


I want (if possible) to set up Pegasus

the same way.

Turnpike can be set so that it works as

if the 'domain' is a company name and all mail to the Company

(domain) is stored in the Company mail room then copies are

automatically sorted and sent to the individual 'Users' desks in the

office.


Each Users mailbox has a 'reply'

address of that Users mailbox.

All mail is received @domain.isp.co.uk

with a single password.

It then distributes to relevant

mailboxes e.g., user1@domain.isp.co.uk

or user2@domain.isp.co.uk

and so on.

Mail can be filed against that User

mailbox or selectively to any 'User' name e.g. 'accounts' or

'domestic' or 'family' etc.


Turnpike is an outdated email system

and I am trying to find a more up to date replacement.

I have been trying to find how to set

up Pegasus Mail (v4.61) in Multi-User form as I think this will

provide what I want.


I have looked at 'identities', 'mail

folders', mail boxes' but cannot see how to create multi-user

mailboxes so that all incoming mail from '@domain.isp.co.uk' gets

filtered into its own User' mailbox.

I've searched the PDF Manual and Help

and forum but am not sure if Pegasus Mail calls what I want either

Mail Boxes, or Mail stands, or Identities, or Personalities or just

Users.


Thank you for reading this!, if you can

give an answer, then thank you again.

Mercury has full support for domain mailboxes. Use the MercuryD module (POP3 client) to retrieve messages from your ISP's server. Leave "Local user" blank to have messages distributed to the mailboxes you create for each user, but make sure to enter a valid account as "Default user". Check Mercury help for more configuration details.

Using MercuryC (SMTP relaying client) you can relay outgoing mail from your local users to your ISP's mail server.

There is a FAQ post with more information about how to set up Pegasus and Mercury in a local network here:
