    This shouldn't be a problem, but afgter my struggles setting up Skype,
    I thought it was worth asking: Pegasus can support IPv6, right?

    P-Mail uses WINSOCK and the OS does the networking. All P-Mail cares about >> is; the name of the host, TCP port used and whether the email server
    requires SSL.

    I agree with you, David. Pegasus uses the network to reach mail servers,
    the way it does is the OS and the used networking protocol job, not >Pegasus's. Same thing for Mercury or any other software who needs
    networks connection to run.

    ...and 8 months later, he came back to revisit the issue.

    I recently raised the question the same question about Forte Agent
    (which I am using right now) and the initial answer was it sues
    Winsock -- don't worry about it. But then it was pointed out that
    winsock returns an IP address to Agent, and Agent uses that address to
    access the news server. So if PMail uses winsock, but what comes back
    from winsock is the IP addresses of the servers, can it handle a dual
    stack situation, let alone an IPV6 only world?

    Now, my ISP is IPV4 only, and it will probably be a long time before
    Yahoo has only IPV6 mail servers. But I thought it would be wise to
    double check to make sure we're all on the same page. Because now,
    I'm not so sure.

    You are making a mountain from a mole hill.

    There is nothing for you to worry about.
