Hi Everybody,
Just a note on installing to a mapped drive under Windows 8.1:
We have used Pmail for several years and find it ideal as you can store all the mail and program itself on a server, which makes backups and management a doddle.
We use all our computers with explicit drive mappings, resolving to a letter, for example:
S: is \\192.168.x.xx\Folder Name.
This is to maintain compatibility with old programs that do not play well with explicit names.
When installing the 4.70 update it does not read the existing drive mappings when you browse for the program folder, you have to use the Network Browse which will find the server by its name:
\\Name of Server\Folder Name
The install then proceeds OK. After the install all the existing shortcuts on other computers work fine, there is no need to do install anything on the other workstations.
If you store the Windows Credentials, then Windows will store both instances of the server, by IP address and Name.
This assumes that you are upgrading an existing installation that already has the mail to and send defaults set to Pegasus Mail. If not then these can be set with the wsendto found in the program folder, or, if a new installation then run wssetup from the program folder.
Hope this helps others.
