These are the procedures for converting from single user to multiuser.
This process assumes that you used the default settings when installing WinPmail in single user mode, therefore the basic directory is c:\pmail and the mail directory is c:\pmail\mail.
We use a sample for a user called TEST. You would obviously use your own details in place of this.
1. Create a directory for your current mail files and username. I assume you are using a username of TEST. (MD c:\pmail\mail\TEST)
2. Move your current mail files from the c:\pmail\mail directory to the c:\pmail\mail\TEST directory. (MOVE c:\pmail\mail\*.* c:\pmail\mail\TEST)
3. Edit your pmail.ini file and change all instances of c:\pmail\mail to c:\pmail\mail\TEST. If you have saved your username in win.ini, edit the win.ini file and remove the username line.
4. Delete the file c:\pmail\pmail.cfg. This will remove your current configuration and force WinPmail to go the install process.
5. Double click on the WinPmail icon. Since the pmail.cfg is missing, this will cause WinPmail to go through the install process. Select the multiuser option.
6. You will be asked to about the users. Add the username TEST and any other users you wish.
Make sure you give administrator privileges to at least one username Select close.
7. You will be asked to select a username, use TEST. This should now open WinPmail using you old mail information. You will now have an additional menu item under Address that will allow you to administer your users from WinPmail.
8. You now can create an icon for each user with the -i username commandline option to enable starting WinPmail without having to enter the username each time.
