FWIW, the ISP may be doing port 25 blocking and as such yuo must use MercuryC for sending the mail using the ISPs SMTP host as a relay host.

1.  Install WinPmail in the multiuser mode on the "server".  Use c:\pmail
    for the program; c:\pmail\mail for the mail directories.

2.  Run PCONFIG.exe from the WinPMail program directory and change the HOME and
    NEW mail directory specification to the \\server\vol\pmail\mail\~8
    format.

3.  Go to the remote workstations and install a shortcut to the common
    program.

Ok, now you have the basic mail system setup.  You can send mail to each other using Pegasus Mail.  

4.  Install Mercury/32 on this same server pointing to the Pegasus Mail
    directory structure.  Use MercuryD, MercuryS, MercuryC at least. Use
    \\server\vol\mercury\queue for the mail spool directory.

5.  Point MercuryD at all of your POP3 mailboxes to download the mail to
    your Pegasus Mail user directories.

You now can send and receive Internet mail via Pegasus Mail.  The mail is delivered to the Pegasus Mail directories automatically.  You send mail simply but putting the output files into the Mercury/32 mail spool directory.  This is accomplished automatically with a Pegasus Mail User Defined Gateway.  

6.  If you want to maintain other POP3/IMAP4 clients, point the client at
    the at your Mercury/32 host as a POP3 and SMTP host using the Pegasus
    Mail username and password to pickup the mail.

A lot of these questions were answered in my first post, are you sure you read it?
If you do not need the internet connection parts do not use them.  The process is simple, you install Pegasus Mail to c:\pmail as Multiuser using c:\pmail\mail as the mailbox location.

You install Mercury/32 to c:\mercury using the defaults and then point it at the Pegasus Mail program (c:\pmail\programs) and mailbox (c:\pmail\mail) locations during the install.

Pegasus Mail is installed to c:\pmail

Multiuser and the mail directory is c:\pmail\mail

>
> email address

It's the local username and the domain you use when creating the users in Configuration | Manage local users.  For example, if you use mydomain.com in the Configuration | Mercury core | Domains and create a user called Admin then the e-mail address is admin@mydomain.com.  The Tools | Internet options | General entries are not required in a integrated setup.

If on the same system as Mercury then use 127.0.0.1.  The Tools | Internet options | (Receiving)POP3 is not required on an integrated setup.

The username is the name is the user you created in Mercury/32.  The password is the password you gave the user.

If on the same system as Mercury then use 127.0.0.1.  The Tools | Internet options | (Sending) SMTP is not required on an integrated setup.

MercuryC is only required when sending off server to the internet and then you would use the name of the ISPs SMTP host.
