| Pegasus Mail |
| |
| When you open Pegasus for the first time, you will get a message asking how you plan to use Pegasus: One person checking mail on the computer, more than one person using the mail program on the same computer, or if one person has more than one e-mail addresses, and the final option of being used by multiple people on a network. Choose the one that fits your needs (you can change later). These instructions describe how to set it up for one e-mail address. |
