Using Pegasus on two computers, same in-house network

Simple question indeed. The answer on the other hand... There are different approaches to this. Martin already suggested one. Another one would be to use public folders on a share. I think you should be able to find sufficient information on this in the Pegasus Help files. Yet another approach would be to use a service like Dropbox. That's where I save private mail that I receive at work that I also want to be able to access at home, for which I use the Pmail Add mailbox functionality in both my Pmail setups at home and at work. Many IMAP lovers will probably say "Why not use IMAP for this?" I don't have a very satisfactory answer to this, except that I'm just not such a fan of IMAP. I have a feeling that POP3 just gives me a little bit more control.

Sorry, this maybe a simple question - but I still don't know how to use Pegasus (which I have used for maybe 20 years) on my 2 computers. It is installed on my desktop (WIN7) but when I'm working on my notebook in a different room (also WIN7, and part of the inhouse network), I would like to access Pegasus as well. How do I configure PMail on my notebook?

Thanks for your help!

Go into menu Tools/Internet Options  and select Receiving (POP3) tab. Then select the POP3 hosts list and select and click Edit on the active entry.

Then Uncheck Delete mail on server once downloaded. Click OK.   Now repeat this editing on the other machine. To cleanup the server collection of mails you will need to use menu file/Selective downloads and use the Delete button for each message.

The alternative is to decide which of your machines will be Master and Check the" Delete mail on server once downloaded"   The slave machine will have this Unchecked.
