That's not the correct directory.  You are supposed to be pointing at the
directory containing the WinPMail executable so it can write the PMGATE.SYS
file and the MERCURY User Defined Gateway to be used by Pegasus Mail.  The
mailbox directory spec is set in Configuration | Mercury core "Local mailbox
directory path" and it should be c:\pmail\mail~8

In any case this is a Mercury/32 configuration problem and have nothing to do
with Wine.  I personally believe this bug should be closed.
