>From the Pegasus Help -
To create a new Identity:
Select Tools | Identities... from the menu to bring up the Identities dialog.
You should have at least one Identity defined there already, usually called
<Default>. From this dialog, you can create and delete identities, as well as
change to one of your available identities using the Become button.
To add a new Identity, click the Add... button. Enter a descriptive name for
this new identity in the upper field and in the lower drop-down box, select the
identity you wish to base this new identity on from your current list of
identities. This allows you to have a starting point of reference when creating
new identities and is quite helpful if you are creating many identities that are
mostly similar to each other. Click the OK button to create the new identity.
Once created, the identity can be selected by highlighting it within the dialog
in the Tools | Identity menu and clicking the Become button. As a shortcut and
visual clue, there is also an identity drop-down box on Pegasus Mail's main
toolbar (note that the toolbar is configurable, so the identity drop-down box
might not be available to you). The identity drop-down box on the toolbar always
displays the currently-selected global identity.
Once you have created and selected the identity you can go to the Tools |
Options... menu to customize its settings. When creating a new message, Pegasus
Mail will use the settings as specified by the currently-selected identity
(called the global identity) showing on Pegasus Mail's main toolbar. Changes
made to the default signature, font, and other settings for a new message will
be recorded for the global identity.
Your identity is now ready for use. Use the different identities by selecting
them from the main toolbar or from the Tools | Identities dialog, by pressing
the-become button.
When replying or forwarding mail, you can select a non-global identity from the
Reply Options and Forward dialogs and that identity will be used to generate
only that reply or forwarded message. The global identity will continue to be
used for new messages and so forth.
NOTE: Once you open the message editor window for a new message, a reply to a
message or on a forwarded message, any global identity change is ignored for
that message. So first change the identity (or select it from the "Reply
Options" or "Forward Message To" dialog) and then create the message.
Cheers!
