Pegasus Mail & Mercury

Niall Martin:I made several attempts to restart Pegasus and all failed -- just tried to start and got stuck. Thanks for your advice - I was wondering along such lines. I've deleted two .PMX files and tried again, but Pegasus still seeems stuck at opening new mail folder. I notice there is another large file, which I opened with Textpad. It seems ...

Joerg:what's the difference between ''auto-forwards'' and ''outgoing''. Do you mean the function of the ''FORWARD'' file which may be placed in user directories? Why you don't use MercuryE also for that auto-forwardings? Yes, auto-forwards produced by the FORWARD file.  Why?  Because sometimes I'm lazy.  I used my ''incoming'' ...

Joerg:I'm interesting in your experiences when submitting mails via MercuryC using only one user credentials for all of your mail addresses. How do other mail servers than Mercury handle this problem? Is it possible that submissions of e-mails have to be authenticated for each single mail with their own (different) user authentication? I've had ...

I'm glad the problem has been identified.   I wonder how many AOLers we have who post to listerv or mailman type lists with a reply-to set to the list address.

Follow up comment:  Do not try to copy or install Pegasus Mail to either of the \Program Files directories on Win10, it will not function.

If Pegasus Mail is still functioning on the old computer go to its Help > About Pegasus Mail and click the Info button.  The resulting display can be copied and pasted into a reply that we can review to see if we can identify anything in the configuration the might cause problems with a copy from machine to machine.

550 Request failed; Mailbox unavailable is normally a response from the receiving server of an invalid email address although there have been some reports of the failure notice being generated if the sender has a reply-to address different from their sending address.  The reports seem specific to Outlook but AOL is regularly mentioned so ...

Is it possible that you were using the -i command line option in the shortcut of your previous install to tell Pegasus Mail what user to startup as? As for copying a Pegasus Mail installation to a new machine, if the installation of the Pegasus Mail that you want to copy had the directory structure of C:\PMAIL\PROGRAMS\... and C:\PMAIL\MAIL\... ...

The prompt you are looking for is associated with IERenderer.  It only pops up when attempting to print while viewing HTML content (fancy view) and when IERenderer is enabled. To insure IERenderer is enabled click its icon in the main Pegasus Mail toolbar and make sure the ''Use IERenderer'' option is ticked. If it is and you still don't see ...
