I cannot get V 3.01d to startup  in muli-pop mode on my notebook.   

When I installed, I selected the 2nd option ("...more than one person
will use Pegasus Mail...").  Then I created some users, one having
Admin privileges.  But whenever I start the program, it does not ask
for the username.  It just goes in as the first users I added.

The machine is a Compaq notebook, with Netware Client32 (though it is
not usually connected to the network; the intention being to use
dial-up networking to access the POP server most of the time.)

I've tried uninstalling, deleting the PMAIL directory, and
reinstalling.  I've tried running it with the -A switch.  I've tried
deleting pmail.cfg so it will ask for configuration mode again.  I've
even tried removing the Pegasus mail related registry entries.
Nothing helps.

adTHANKSvance,

John

Sounds like you either have a custom icon that includes the "-I <username>"
command line option or (most likely), you have a [WinPMail] section in your
WIN.INI file (probably from an older release.
Edit your WIN.INI file and delete any [WinPMail] or [Pegasus Mail for
Windows] section from that file using a pure text editor, like Windows
Notepad.

And none of those will help.  ;-)

Just fyi, you can use the "-i <username>" command line switch with different
WinPMail icons to automatically come up with specific users without having
to go through the username prompt.  See the Help -> Commandline Options menu
item for more info.
