A single-user installation of Pegasus Mail done overtop of a multi-user installation can result in the creation of a Home mailbox directory in C:\PMAIL\MAIL rather than keeping it combined with New mailbox directory typically located in C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN. This document contains instructions for combining them, returning to Home and New in C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN.
