A guide to the Pegasus Mail Program Directory.

If you happen to look in the Pegasus Mail program directory there are a large number of files relating to Pegasus Mail, incorporating quite a range of suffices. When you started using Pegasus Mail with or after version 4.30 the program related files are placed in a subdirectory called programs.

Besides those files you will find some sub directories:

In normal operation there is hardly any need to work with those files, but some of them can make e-mail live a bit easier.

This document is last updated 30-July-2006.

General purpose of the directory:

This directory is created on installation time. The files placed in it are all needed to have the program and all supporting parts working as advertised.

Note: Not all files have to be installed on all systems, and not all files are discussed on this page.
