Pegasus Mail & Mercury

amrikr:Hi again, I've tried with Compatibility mode turned on, and frankly it's made things much worse.  Now it still pegs the CPU at 100%, BUT, in Task Manager it no longer shows the Pegasus process and causes the machine to become unoperable.  I'm reverting back to regular mode as I've had to hit the physical power switch on the ...

RIPSNORT:Has any an idea as to when Pegasus Mail will be ready for the amazing Windows Vista?   (Perchance this note is not seen by anyone, please advise me immediately ... thanks)    Depends on what you define as ready.  Many of us use it now once we tweak the program properties.   Is why I said Annoyances and in ...

Eliel Salles:What are the possibilities of having a forum about using pegasus on Linux?Is there any on-going project to develop a linux version of Pegasus mail?I am shifting from Windows to Linux OS this Summer and definitely want to continue using Pegasus on Linux.   I think that would be a good idea.  I haven't done it for a while ...

jss1941:Pegasus has a ''System mailer'' button [Tools:Options:Incoming Mail:Hyperlinks] which is supposed to set Pegasus as the default email client in Windows.  It works fine in Win2K and probably XP, but not in Vista. The problem is that Vista has a new Registry entry that Pegasus does not know about --  ...

''amrikr wrote the following post at 05-15-2007 22:25: Under Vista at times Pegasus will stop functioning normally (ie. mail will no longer send/receive) and take up close to 100% CPU, although you can continue reading messages and compose them and add to the queue.  When you quit the application, the pmail process remains ...

I wouldn't be surprised if it is because of the beta client.  I can run it from a Windows 2003 server and get the same effect I do with the -roam version off a thumb drive. Microsoft didn't give Novell the same quality connections to hook into in Vista that existed in XP so I expect that road to a good client to be a bumpy one. 

Having had run a large Mercury/32 system once, I can see arguments for not doing this too. In a small system the server could keep up with the load of personal filters but in a large system, you would have to have one server for delivery and filters and another server for the rest of the functions to keep up with the load. I may be totally off ...

I would suggest looking to see if there is another video driver than the one that was supplied.  Often the chip set manufacturers offer generic ones that work better than the OEM Vendor supplied drivers.     I run Pegasus Mail on two systems (Notebook and Desktop) with 1680x1050 displays, and don't see that ...

I have noticed several quirks with apps on Vista that also effect Pegasus Mail.   I thought a thread to discuss what I and others have found would be handy. Probably the biggest Feature (Annoyance) with Vista has to do with running software from other than local drives.  Vista trusts programs on removable drives/media  and ...
