Technical Support Area -- Pegasus Mail Configuration


Pegasus Mail is a freeware E-Mail client with one great advantage -- it allows you to use the same program with different e-mail accounts. This document will discuss how to install and configure Pegasus Mail for use with Infobahn International, Inc.

Installing Pegasus Mail

The first step in using Pegasus Mail is to install the program. You can find Pegasus Mail at http://www.pegasus.usa.com. Once you have retrieved the file, you want to find and run the installer program (For Windows 95/NT, run w32-254.exe).
  1. Click on the "Continue Installation" button.

  2. Click on the "No Netware Support" button (If you are only going to be using Pegausus mail for internet mail -- if you're on a Novell Network you may want to install this.)

  3. Enter the directory in which to store the Pegasus Mail files (the default is C:\PMAIL), then click on the "OK, accept this directory" button.

  4. Click on the "Use US English Dictionary by default" button.

  5. Select the options you want (defaults of "Create a program manager group for Pegasus mail" and "Use Pegasus Mail as the default mailer for MS Internet Explorer" are fine), then click on the "Install Pegasus Mail" button.

  6. Click on the "Exit" button in the Setup Completed screen.

Initial Pegasus E-Mail Configuration

The first time you start Pegasus Mail, you will be presented with a screen that will allow you to select how to set up Pegasus Mail. There are 3 options available, of which we will discuss first two (A single user/E-mail address and Multiple users/E-mail addresses).

Reconfiguring Pegasus Mail (If you were formerly using another service)

  1. Start Pegasus Mail. Enter a username in the "User Name" dialog, then click on the "OK" button.

  2. Select "Network Configuration..." from the "File" menu.

  3. In the "Pegasus Mail Options and Preference Settings" screen, enter the following information:

  4. In the "User details" screen enter a "Username" and the "Personal Name" corresponding to the username (Note that these do not have to be the same as the E-mail usernames). Click on the "Administrator Privleges" checkbox to make an account have administrative privleges. Click on the "OK" button to save the user information.

  5. Click on the "Close" button in the "Pegasus Mail Users" screen..

  6. Restart Pegasus Mail. Enter the username you just created the "User Name" dialog, then click on the "OK" button.
