I just believe that Pegasus should have an encrypted password system - it's just too easy to "crack", should someone get hold of your external drive.

In securing my computer for a trip to the repair shop, I just noticed that my administrative username and three other user names for Pegasus are plainly listed under PMAIL in the Windows directory, so that if I take my computer in for repair, a savvy tech could easily find my username and open/read my email, which contains some data that needs to be kept secure.

If this has been dealt with before, please link me to the solution if there is one. Thank you for any suggestions or solutions you can give me, as my computer goes in the shop for a minor problem soon.

PS: "Ask for Netware Password at startup" is greyed out in my Basic Settings (i.e., not available).

I seem to have solved my own problem, though in a somewhat inconvenient way. First, I moved all of the Pegasus folders and files to an external hard-drive, changed the target in the shortcut...but then discovered that I ALSO had to use "regedit" to change all references in the registry from C:\PMAIL to F:\PMAIL, which an uninstall and reinstall apparently did not change.

After these several registry changes (using find and find again for PMAIL) from the C: drive to the F: drive (external drive), Pegasus now works fine if I plug in my external hard-drive, accepting my username from there (which it would not before the registry changes). I have deleted all Pegasus files from my C: drive. So when I unplug my external hard-drive, Pegasus is inaccessible and secured.

You would (should) have been asked to specify a location during the reinstall.

Also there is a command line switch (-ROAM) that can be used for removable drives that tells Pmail to ignore the drive letter.

Useful if the drive does not always show up with the same drive letter.
