Editing existing e-mail accounts:

After configuring an account with the wizard, you still need to do a few things to finish the configuration:

1.  Enable SMTP authentication (so you can send e-mail).
2.  Stipulate the dial-up connection through which you would like Pegasus to connect (optional).

To edit an account, follow these steps:

On the Toolbar, click Tools and select Internet options from the menu.

General tab:

The Internet Mail Options window appears.

Note:  Clicking 'Start Setup Wizard' will not create another e-mail account for you.  It will overwrite your existing configuration.  If you want to configure more than one e-mail account, you'll need to view the 'Identities' tutorial.  Click here to view it.

Click the Receiving (POP3) tab.
