Hi Thomas,

 When I use Pegasus on the server computer (the one that has mercury on it also), I have 50+ emails in my inbox. I also have 40+ emails that I have copied to myself. When I run Pegasus on the laptop, the inbox only has one message in it (the default message that comes with the program), but everything I have copied to myself appears in the correct mailbox (on the laptop). I do not know for certain, but I am wondering if I installed Pegasus in the stand alone configuration, and need to reinstall it on the server. If this is necessary, none of the emails in the inbox are critcal, and it is ok if I lose them.

Thanks,

Russ

Good Morning to all,

 I have Pegasus Mail and Mercury running on a computer that I use strictly as a server. I have several computers in my home. I would like to be able to check my mail (using pegasus) from any computer in my house (I have mobility issues)...is this something that can be done, and if so, how do I do it. If I could check/reply/send email from any computer that I happen to be at, it would be a great help.

 Thanks in advance,

Russ

Here's the basic process to create a client/server type system.  I've thrown Mercury into the mix to make is easier.

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 UNC 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.

You can do a complete inbound and outbound mail archive with this setup using a simple Mercury/32 "Always" filter that put a copy in a users mail directory.

Hi Thomas,

 I completed the first part of your instructions (I have set up Pegasus so that it runs on my laptop)...when I start the program, it shows me mail that I have sent to copies to myself, but not new mail (it also shows mail that I have moved to other mailboxes). I am not certain what I am doing wrong in this instance.

 Also, I would like to publicly thank Thomas for all of his help getting mercury and pegasus set up. He has been very generous with his time and knowledge...thanks again!

Not sure what you mean here?  Are you in the preview mode or the classic mode?  What specifically is missing?
