Changing the Order of My Identities List
In addition to <Default>, I have 7 different identities/email addresses. All are set up correctly and work fine, but have grown like topsy over the last 7 years. The ones I use most frequently are now at the bottom of the drop-down list. For instance, if my identities are named 1 through 7, I want to reorder the drop-down list to 6, 7, 3, 4, 1, 2, 5. How can I reorder the list? I am comfortable with editing text files, so if there is a particular .ini file I should look at, that's no problem.
Thanks for any insight you can give me!

Take a look at PMAIL.INI in your new mail directory, specifically the section [Pegasus Mail for Windows - Identities]. Though I haven't tried this I assume you may achieve reordering the ID list therein (shut down Pegasus Mail and create a backup copy before trying).

Open the pmail.ini in the new mail directory with an ASCII type editor (Notepad) when Pegasus Mail is not running. Edit the following section to put the identities in the order you wish. You might want to save a copy in case things go wrong. I did this sort of editing some time back with mine.
