Using Pegasus after deleting Mercury

> What do I have to do to Pegasus so Pegasus itself  will once more send my e-mails to my provider as before?

Use Tools | Internet options | (Sending) SMTP and select either of the following options to bypass Mercury.

Use in preference to LAN mailer for Internet mail  This option is only meaningful when you are running Pegasus Mail with a Mercury or User Defined Gateway (UDG) queue. Checking this control tells Pegasus Mail to use its own built-in mail delivery routines instead of passing your outgoing mail to the queue for processing. If you leave this box unchecked, then Pegasus Mail will always use the Mercury/UDG queue in preference to its own SMTP delivery routines. The setting of this control is ignored when you run Pegasus Mail where there is no Mercury or UDG queue.

Use for all outgoing mail, regardless of address:  Usually when you enter an address such as "DAVID", which has no domain portion, Pegasus Mail regards it as a local address and attempts to deliver it to the user based on the assumption that he can be found on the machine you are using. If you are the only person who uses your computer, however, then there will be no other users on your system and this assumption will not be valid. Checking this control tells Pegasus Mail to pass all mail to the remote host for processing and not to presume that any addresses are local to your machine. You should only check this control if you are the only person who uses your machine.

I have installed Mercury for the solution of a specific problem. Mercury now sends my mails to my provider.

In the mean time I have found a more elegant solution for my problem and now no longer want to use Mercury.

What do I have to do to Pegasus so Pegasus itself  will once more send my e-mails to my provider as before?

Thanks,
