Email
Extension employees use email boxes from the University of Minnesota and use
Pegasus Mail email software. In about 20% of Extension offices, the county government hosts
Extension's email boxes and use either the Microsoft Outlook or Novell Groupwise email software.

Software:
Pegasus Mail ver. 4.02 (32-bit - Win95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP) (3.8 MB self-installing file)
If used in a Novell environment you MUST have the Novell Client 32 for Win95, it will not work with the Microsoft Netware client.
Pegasus Mail ver. 4.02a patch (32-bit - Win95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP) (1.35 MB Zip file)
Patches and occasional updates to Pegasus Mail are provided from time to time to address problems or add minor features outside our normal development cycle. Patches do not have an installer - you need to be handy with a ZIP utility such as WinZIP to install them. In general, we recommend that only reasonably experienced users install patch versions on their systems. A readme.txt is included that contains installation instructions.

This module contains the utilities necessary to prepare a NetWare NDS system for use with Pegasus Mail, and also include the files necessary to run Pegasus Mail for Windows in NDS mode on a NetWare NDS-based system.

addressbooks. Follow these steps to add into Outlook:
- Download the ZIP file and save it on your Desktop

- Right-click on the addressbook in the 'Folder List' window

- Click 'Ok' to close the 'Properties' box.
