Is there any way I can start PMMail2k so that it reads my mail folders in another 
location without having to resort to specifying this location which is only provided 
in the "Start in ... directory" fields of Windows shortcuts? Presently, I am limited 
to having to navigate through a few layers of "proper" menus before arriving at the 
program group from which I can then start PMMail. Perhaps the ability for the user to 
choose the location of his mail folders can be set in PMMail itself? It would be very 
nice to see this as a future 

I have been thinking about this issue for a while, largely because of my computer at 
home.  I run XP because it allows my wife, each of my two kids and me to have separate 
logon ids, and all can be logged on at the same time (a la Unix, but different from 
other versions of Windows).  This works very well for us, and I think will be the way 
of the future.

Unfortunately, PM Mail doesn't handle it particularly well if two different users both 
try to run the program -- windows don't get updated and if mail comes in, I need to 
reindex the folders.  I would love to see a version which would automagically:
- identify which accounts to open, perhaps based on RW permissions on the mail folders 
(which could be sepcified as above, or some other way); and
- know whether it was already running, and synchronize windows updates, scheduled 
fetches and database indexing.

I suspect this is a major programming effort, but I also think this is the way home 
computing will be going, and any program which can solve these issues will have a 
substantial competitive advantage.

FWIW, etc.
