I had Pegasus running smoothly on an old version of wine + win95,
except when I was minimizing pegasus, it was just disappearing. I had
no pb of username, but I was using a single user installation.

With the current version of wine (stand alone, without windows
installation), I have difficulties to run programs (including
pegasus), so I cannot help for now.

But have you tried to find where is stored the username and password ?
Maybe wine cannot access this file or registry setting ?

BTW, Pegasus store _very few_ informations in the registry, it can run
just copying program and data folder from a PC to another, without
further step

Have you tried to run as single user ? (you will have t use
pconfig.exe or to reinstall pegasus). It should solve your porblem.

If you really need multi-user installation, maybe you could try to
install Pegasus via Wine to the fake windows drive, and copy your
mails folder from the old to the new installation ?

If none of that results, maybe you could ask on
comp.mail.pegasus-mail.ms-windows, somebody could figure out the pb,
knowing where Peg is storing username information ?
