First of all, a little history here: I am 83 years old, and was an IT Pro at the University of Idaho for over 30 years and am now retired. I am fairly familiar with most common computer software, and still have no trouble dealing with computer hardware. I and my family have been using Pegasus for many years, probably at least 30.

Recently, I have been attempting to migrate our home computers from Windows to a Unix clone, FreeBSD. So far that attempt has been successful....until yesterday.

I have both Windows 10 and FreeBSD 14.2 in this computer on separate HDDs, and boot into the OPSYS of choice by rebooting the computer, and choosing the OPSYS at that time.

I have been using Pegasus successfully under WINE in FreeBSD. I was using the FreeBSD system for the past three days or so, and rebooted into Windows this morning. Pegasus when running within FreeBSD uses the same mailbox as when I use Pegasus under Windows.

Now, when I try to run Pegasus, after booting into Windows, I get the "locked' message, and when I hit "Continue" the Pegasus opening screen shows for several seconds, then suddenly closes with no messages and no Pegasus.

I have looked at my mail in C:/PMAIL/MAIL/<my user>, and everything is still there, yet can no longer access it.

I have copied the PMAIL.INI.OLD to PMAIL.INI and that does nothing.

How can I fix this issue?
