Is the purpose of this waking/emailfetching to allow you to access the
computer remotely, or is the purpose (just) to empty your mailbox on the
mailserver, or is there some other purpose for wanting some unknown mail
program to start and go online and access the mailserver account?

Is the purpose of waking the computer up remotely to access it remotely?
You have never stated what you are trying to do.

> I am NOT using Outlook for my email.

Outlook OL is a mapi messaging et al application of MS Office suite
which does email. OL is not OE Outlook Express which is *not* a mapi
message app, but is a completely different mail/news client.

- what is the mailagent you wish to use to access the mailserver?
- what is the purpose of accessing the mailserver while you are not
present - are you going to try to read that mail somehow or what?

The mail client is Pegasus. The purpose is to clear email from the
server so it doesn't pile up while I am gone.

Since writing this original question, I have attempted to create a new
task in the task scheduler and have managed to get the computer to
wake up from the sleep state and start up Pegasus. There is a hiccup
in the process however since doing things this way opens a small
window asking for my username which I normally do not have to provide
all the time. Entering my username isn't working as an error pops up
telling me that name isn't on the system.

I am going to take my question over to the Pegasus user group and see
if they can help over there.

You could try leaving Pegasus open and having the task scheduler
start something other than Pegasus, like maybe a screen saver.
Windows wakes up. Pegasus is already open and downloads messages.
Windows goes back on standby after timeout.

What is the name of your mail server?

I would solve the problem differently than that. The problem is that
your mailservice has a smallish mailbox which needs to be emptied
periodically (or continuously, see below). There is no need to leave
your computer in a wakeup state while you are gone.

I would create a gmail account to which your current mailservice
autoforwards the mail and does *not* leave a copy on the server (after
you have tested it to see that it is working correctly).

That way your mail is not only out of the current mailservers small
mailbox, but it is also accessible by pop, imap, or webmail while you
are away.

When you return, you can access the gmailbox with pegasus and all of the
mail comes flowing in.

In this manner, you acquire a mailbox which is about 7.5G instead of
whatever you have.

Is it Pegasus asking for the password or the Task Scheduler?

Leaving it completely blank might work - if you have *never* done it
successfully. See below for details.

That's not your windows logon. It's either another logon for windows
itself (windows family logon it's called - quite different from the
actual user name system your referring to) or the logon for client for
Microsoft networking. This would depend on the entries within the
properties for My network places.

Below disables the windows family logon prompt. To disable the one
from Client for Microsoft networking you change the primary network
logon from Client for Microsoft networks to windows family logon and
*then* do the below if you still get the prompt for windows family logon.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231

Note when using regedit the *very* first thing *always* you do is export
the registry to the desktop by doing Registry->Export registry file.

However, Unless you're planing on getting greater than several MB of
attachments in your email while your away (in which case sending a
message to whoever you'd be receiving it from would be prudent IMHO.) I
see no way anyone could reasonably expect the server to fill beyond it's
capacity otherwise while you're away.

It appears to be Pegasus, though I'm not really sure. The Pegasus
splash screen is visible and the small window appears over it with the
request for username. Presumably, if the right one is entered the
program would open fully and begin downloading mail.

If I can't solve the username issue, this sounds like the most logical
alternative. Thanks.

Task Scheduler requires a user name and password to work in order to execute
some programs. If you did not set one then go back and edit the settings to
include one, it should be the username and password used to log into your
computer with.
