Hi Thomas

That was brilliant, I followed your advice and the second identity now works. Thanks for the quick reply. I have one remaining problem: this has come about because I have had to back-up PMail onto DVD's before getting rid of Windows 2000 and installing XP. So now I have a new installation of Pegasus on XP and the old Pegasus files and info on four back-up DVD's. However I would like to either open certain of the old files i.e. folders, addresses and the emails that were  in place before the back-up or transfer them back onto the new Pegasus installation running under XP. The Pegasus folders and files seem to be duplicated on  all four back-up DVD's and include folders called Defaults, Mail, Resource and about 117 other files. So I would be very pleased if you could advise me how to access this information or indeed transfer it back onto the new Pegasus.

Thank you

Marcel

Restore these files and folders to a directory on your local hard drive called "ARCHIVE" and then point at it using "Add mailbox to list".

1.  Open the folder listing.  Go to the menu "Folders" next to "Tools".

2.  Use  "Add mailbox to list", enter C:\Archive as the path, Archive as
    the name.

I have a default address which works OK but I need another address and have had problems setting it up. I have the default and the other username in the task bar but cannot set up the second address. I have tried various ways using Tools but none have worked. So outgoing mail always has the same default address whether I have default or the other username in the task bar. Could someone please advise how this is done.

Thank you

Create a identity for the new address.  Become that identity and then change the Tools | Options and Internet options to match the new identity.
