Setup for second computer.

I updated Pegasus 4.21b ---> 4.41 on a Windows 98 PC. That worked OK.
I connected a second PC with Windows XP networked by cable and loaded
Pegasus over the network. OK . Folders open OK.

The problem is that recent emails are missing. Nothing from 2008. The
PC containing Pegasus still sees the recent files. What is my problem
and how can I fix it.

Advice will be appreciated,
Stan Hilliard

Here is more information: I also connected a laptop (#3 PC) by
wireless to the network. It runs XP home.

Here are the counts in the toolbar at the bottom of screen..
#1 PC with Pegasus v4.41 installed: 967 in newmail folder.
#2 PC connected to #1 by ethernet: 919 in newmail folder.
#3 PC connected to #1 by wireless: 1191 in newmail folder.

Results are similar for other folders. Missing mails. The missing seem
to be be the most recent. I haven't seen any 2008 mail from #2 PC.

I created an additional mail folder on #1 PC with the new Pegasus
v4.41 update and added 38 emails. Everything seems normal on #1, but
over on #2 & #3 PCs I can't see it at all -- even the folder itself.

Sincerely,
Stan Hilliard

More information:
Pegasus is installed on #1 PC in D:\Program Files\Pmail\winpm-32.exe
The mailbox is on #1 PC in D:\Mail\Pmail\

On Pegasus's first startup from #2 PC and #3 PC it produced the
message:

"Pegasus Mail has detected that you have previously used an older
versin on this mail box"
[x] Show me what's new [continue]

Correction:

The mailbox is in partition E:\ , not D.

This is how I would do it.
Make sure you have copied everything to the new location. Exit
Pegasus. Then look for PMAIL.INI (Mail folder), open it in a text
editor and edit the paths with a text editor. Unfortunately Pegasus
does not use relative paths, so it appears.

Here is what worked for me:
I replaced "D:\" with "tower\D\"
I replaced "E:\" with "tower\E\"
"tower" is the computer name from network properties in the control
panel.

It was complex, but here is what I have learned about how Pegasus can
be made to find the mail.

Run pconfig.exe in the home folder, which modifies winpm-32.exe
(Pegasus) to point to the newmail folder and pmail.ini -- which must
be in the newmail folder.

Then upon starting, Pegasus will read pmail.ini to the newmail folder
to determine the location of the mail folder.
