Hi all,

i'm Administrator of a Netware 3.12 Server with a running Mercury V1.44
and i want to relocate the new mail hierarchy to another volume than the
default sys:mail. In Mercury.ini i can set the keyword "Newmail_path" in
the [General] Section for relocating the entire new mail hierarchy.

In mguide.exe is written:

 Example: say you want to relocate the new mail hierarchy to VOL2:,
   you would add the following line to the [General] section:

       Newmail_Path : VOL2:MAIL/~b

   Note that relocating the new mail path assumes that you are using
   Pegasus Mail/DOS v3.22 or later, and/or WinPMail v1.21 or later and
   have defined an appropriate PMSYSTEM.INI file to relocate the new
   mail paths for Pegasus Mail as well. It is not currently possible to
   relocate the new mail path for Pegasus Mail/Macintosh (as of version
   2.1.2 of that program).


So, my question is: Where has pmsystem.ini to be (in all the users mail
directories?) and what entries have to be in pmsystem.ini ? Where can i
get some more information about pmsystem.ini?

Any help would be graetly appreciated.

Cheers

Klaus

You put PMSYSTEM.INI in the shared WinPMail program directory on the server.
Hopefully you don't have WinPMail installed on each individual workstation.
;-)

Put the following into the PMSYSTEM.INI file:

[Pegasus Mail for Windows]
Static new mail directory path   = \\NWSERVER\VOL2\MAIL\~b
Static outgoing delivery path    = \\NWSERVER\VOL2\MAIL\~b
