Reason you're getting these problems is not because Pegasus can't run
from the other computer -it's actually designed to be run from a
server like this. In fact it's one of the few properly network-aware
email clients.

The way to do this is to setup Pegasus so it looks for the mailstore
on a network share. Create a share (e.g. PMAILBOX) on a suitable
computer containing your mailbox. This share should contain a folder
named afer youir account, and the PMAIL.USR file.

The program can be run from anywhere, so either copy it to Program
Files of each machine, or else share it. Now, in the Pegasus program
folder, delete or rename the PMAIL.CFG file. When it's next started
it will assume a new install, and ask you where the mailstore is
located. Answer "Network setup" (third option) and point it to the UNC
path of the share you've created. (the root of the share containing
PMAIL.USR, not your mailfolder.)

To start the program so it always opens the same mailbox (and doesn't
ask) create a shortcut using the commandline:

winpm-32 -i <mailboxname>

Pegasus is a really fine program, its only major limitation is that
the "leave messages on server" option doesn't seem to work properly
with many ISPs. - You end-up getting the same messages again and
again... But for LAN users it's infinitely more functional than the
likes of OE.

Hope this helps, Ian.
