Hi folks. I've used selective download for decades. It's great! But recently when I tick Mark For Retrieval, the message is also deleted from the Gmail server. Has Gmail changed its rules? Is my copy of Pmail corrupted? Thanks, Bruce

MapleStory Classic World's Halloween schedule creates two practical constraints at once: the activities begin at 00:00 UTC on October 28, 2026, and are scheduled to run through November 18, while training still competes for time, potions, and inventory space. Check the UTC start against your local clock before planning a session; depending on your location, the launch may fall on October 27. Halloween Candies and Orange Slimes in Town share the listed start and end dates, so there is no need to treat one as a later phase. If you are reviewing a MapleStory Global Mesos budget, keep it separate from event-profit expectations, because the published details give no fixed Mesos return.

Set the route around the Level 10 gate

Both activities list Level 10 as the minimum, making eligibility a clear checkpoint rather than a reason to overlevel. If you are still below the threshold, prioritize steady experience before launch and avoid spending heavily on supplies for monsters you cannot yet handle. Once eligible, choose enemies your character can defeat at a reasonable potion cost. A route featuring Level 10-or-higher monsters may let you work on ordinary training while collecting materials, but that overlap only helps when fights remain efficient for your build and current resources. If each encounter drains recovery items or slows progress, return to safer training and make event collection a separate session. The lost convenience is worth it when it protects your normal progression.

Spend inventory slots on a defined reward

Inventory management is the next constraint because event drops compete with recovery items, quest materials, and ordinary loot. Before leaving town, make room by reviewing unused equipment and excess Etc items, but do not discard anything unfamiliar merely to create space. Keep materials tied to an active quest or crafting plan, and carry the recovery items you normally need for your chosen route. That tradeoff matters especially for lower-level characters: trimming supplies to make room can force an early return or make a manageable training map expensive. A little deliberate sorting is better than clearing the bag aggressively and discovering that an item had a purpose. Check your inventory during the session, not only when it is full, so you can adjust before drops displace essentials.

Choose the target before you start collecting, since the activities do not point to exactly the same reward path. The Halloween Candies quest requires 100 Halloween Candies, while a hidden mission around Victoria Island rewards the Pumpkin Basket, a tradeable one-handed sword. Orange Slimes in Town can also provide Halloween Candies and Malady's candies, so read the item names and check your progress rather than treating all candy drops as interchangeable. If the basket is your goal, decide whether you want it for your character, a collection, or trade; that choice affects how long you are willing to spend on the mission. Check the Pumpkin Basket's listed statistics in game before deciding to equip it, because an old description is not a reliable basis for a character decision.

Keep the plan flexible because the published details do not state a candy drop rate, a required kill count, or a fixed Mesos-per-hour figure. Map comparisons are useful only after you record your own results, and even then they describe your session rather than guarantee the next one. Set a stopping point based on the reward you actually want: review your candy total and inventory before logging out, then switch back to regular experience or another priority if progress feels costly. Players who still need levels should favor efficient training; eligible players with spare time can test a collection route and adjust it when potion use outweighs the benefit. If a separate buy MS Classic World Mesos decision is on your mind, keep it within your own budget and do not justify it with event income the schedule never promises.

While preparing for MapleStory Classic World's Halloween event, weigh the Pumpkin Basket goal against your Mesos needs before setting aside time for candy collection. U4GM lets you review MapleStory Classic World Mesos options and compare them with your plans before choosing how to proceed.

For the 9th Inning XP Path in MLB The Show 26, a roster audit is a better first investment than an automatic push for more cards. If you are weighing time against MLB 26 stubs, first see whether your collection covers the required series: four objectives can earn 24,500 mission XP in offline-capable modes, while 7,500 XP requires 20 runs in Ranked or Weekend Classic. The five missions total 32,000 XP, separate from gameplay XP.

Make One Session Serve More Than One Goal

The five tasks are 15 hits on any difficulty, 500 PXP with Cornerstone Series players, 20 extra-base hits with 2026 Postseason Series players, 25 strikeouts with The Show Classics Series pitchers, and 20 runs in the required competitive modes. Use eligible cards you already own before changing the roster; the series labels, not general card strength, determine whether a player advances those missions.

Overlap is the main time saver. Keep Cornerstone hitters in regular at-bats, let Postseason hitters target pitches they can drive, and use a Classics pitcher when you can work counts; doubles, triples, and home runs all count as extra-base hits. This avoids scheduling a separate session for every stat.

Choose the Route Around Your Schedule

Offline-first play covers four objectives and 24,500 XP, so it is a sensible opening when your roster has the required cards. Competitive-first play adds 7,500 XP only through 20 runs in Ranked or Weekend Classic. Choose it earlier if those games are already part of your plan; otherwise, start where more missions can move together.

Approach Mission XP Main requirement Best fit
Offline first Twenty four thousand five hundred Eligible series cards Broad mission progress
Competitive first Seven thousand five hundred Twenty runs in required modes Players in either required mode

This is a comparison of access, not a promise that one route takes fewer minutes. Competitive players can collect the run progress without treating it as extra work, while a player aiming at a near reward can clear compatible offline tasks first and then take the required mode across as many games as needed.

Let Milestones Set the Session Budget

The listed rewards set useful checkpoints: Smokey Joe Williams at 47,500 XP, Willie Wells at 160,000 XP, and the Boss Choice Pack at 275,000 XP. Choose the reward you want before deciding how far to push; the thresholds show progress distance, not whether a reward will improve your roster.

If you own both eligible 8th Inning bosses, check whether the 30,000 XP voucher is claimable. Count it only after confirming eligibility, and remember gameplay XP is separate from mission rewards, so total progress may exceed the 32,000 mission XP.

Use one lineup for hits and Cornerstone PXP whenever eligible players fit.
Give Postseason hitters regular at-bats before replacing them.
Verify a pitcher's Classics Series status before planning strikeout progress.
Review the tracker after each game and redirect effort only if a target stalls.

If the voucher is available, factor its 30,000 XP into the remaining distance before booking more sessions; it changes timing, not mission eligibility.

Upgrade When the Role or Goal Changes

The path's lasting value is conditional: XP advances toward selected milestones, but the mission list cannot show how long a reward will suit your lineup. Keep an earned card while it fills a specific role in the modes you play; compare a replacement against that job rather than the excitement of an unlock.

Offline-first and competitive-first are both useful, but under different conditions. Prioritize offline progress when eligible cards let several tasks move at once; move to Ranked or Weekend Classic sooner when you already want those games or need the remaining 7,500 XP. Reassess before pursuing a distant milestone that does not fit your goals.

Before the next session, check the tracker and pick the nearest reward you still want. If you are considering MLB 26 stubs for sale, weigh that option against the remaining XP gap and the time for eligible missions; change the roster only when it solves a requirement or fills a role you still need.

With four launch missions worth 24,500 XP offline, MLB The Show 26 players can pair eligible lineups with a plan for the 275,000 XP Boss Choice Pack. U4GM lists Stubs for players considering extra in-game currency; review the details and weigh that option against completing missions through play.

Is there a way to do this? Assuming this is words4.db3, mine is getting rather large...

Hi, very long time Pegasus Mail user (since 1999!). Love it!
I've moved to Linux since Win8 but taken my trusted PMail with me, and it has worked just fine under Wine till v.4.73 (included).
On v.4.80 and 4.91 all text is literally a letter salad: Usually all letters are bunched together at the start of each line, sometimes they are randomly scattered all over the window (including on menu and title bars). The default folder view and the mail subjects inside show normally, the problem only happens when reading a message, trying to write a new one, or in Help...

What has changed between 4.73 and the following versions which could create such a mess?
It has to be the part responsible for showing text both in messages and in the program's Help pages.

(FTR I did try both updates and clean installs of both 4.80 and 4.91, but finally I had to go back to 4.73 since is the last one which works.)

Thanks for reading.

I am re-building my address books after a crash. Now when I create an email address and click to enter the address in the message box, the program tells me that "name" is not a valid address. The program does not connect the "name" with the address I put in the "Email Address:" box.

Hello:
Edit:
It seems that I have the same issue as Al345.
I had made sure that the upgrade worked with the new SSL version requirements but had not sent any emails since the upgrade last night.

I will give it a thorough read and see what I can do.
In the meantime, please consider moving this post to that specific thread as it has the same issue.

ie: when typing an email all I get is garbage on the screen, even if I copy/cut paste from a *.txt file.

Long time PMail user, first time being on W3.11 after ditching the other option/s available, if my memory serves me right, Eudora Mail?.

Firm believer in the "if it works don't fix it" principle, up until yesterday I was running on v.4.73 but as one of my email providers ungraded the SSL version requirements (gmx.net) I finally decided to upgrade to the latest available version:

v4.91.1746, 11 Aug 2025 18:19:07, build ID 1746.

All this in my [Linux Devuan] box under [Wine 8.0], the latest available in the Debian/Devuan repositories.
In exemplary form, w32-491.exe upgraded without a hitch and I was up and running again in less than 5'.
Can't beat that ...

That said, while I am still having the issue of the very small and slightly readable legends/titles above the folder icons (ie: open, reply, forward, etc.) something else has come up.

This installation was upgraded (late) to v4.73 years ago and been transplanted to whatever Wine was running in the respective distribution installed in my box at the time for a number of years without issues and whatever I did with the IERenderer thing survived.
But it seems to have failed this time.

A number of emails that I could open and switch between views by hitting the View button if I needed now show jumbled trash in both options.

I have had a look at the files and it seems that (as instructed at the time) I renamed `IERenderer.fff¨.

Not wanting to screw up my installation, I'd appreciate instructions on how to deal with this as (as I mentioned) Pmail has always worked and I have had very little to do to keep it running.

Best,

S.

I send out a stylized email to a short list of names plus a copy to me. The font I use is Georgia. The one to me comes back with a different font (comes to my phone correctly). What setting have I tripped up that does this?

I wish to copy all my emails from an email account on EveryOne.net webmail to a client platform for full offline access..

Meaning, I want to pull a copy of every email (all attachmens included) on their email server onto my PC, which i can then read or search through offline..

Most email clients refuse to pull pre-existing email from the servers, and/or quit halfway, or leave attachments behind, etc.

I guess this could be called an offline 'copy' or 'mirror' or 'backup', but so far I've not found a way to do this properly, and have come to you experts seeking your advice..

Sometimes when I open email messages, I can't see the pictures included. There is just a blank space with border lines around it. Is there a setting or update I need to see pictures? If I click on "view", I see nothing.

I have been a Pegasus user since the early 1990's

This is a first. I am still on 4.8,

When I exit Pegasus read New Mail does not move to my email received Folder? I looked in Options and I the move new mail is allowed?

I have raised this issue previously, and just wish there was an easy solution. Somehow I was hoping it would cease to happen in v4.91 but no luck!

I regularly find unexpected entries in the Queue Manager of Pegasus mail on starting up. I have not produced them myself, they just appear.

I can delete them, BUT they reappear on the next opening of Pegasus.

So what causes these annoying messages. And how can I stop them from re-appearing? I have asked this previously but I'm hoping for a straight-forward suggestion as to the primary cause and simple process.

I might add that there is no way that I know that enables me to identify which ever mail message is causing the issue, though no doubt it is somewhere in the PMAIL message directory.

Might I suggest that a little fix might be to ensure that the message to be forwarded should not generate a repeat unless we ask for it. After all why on earth should it be expected that a deleted (or a sent) message in the queue should be regenerated the next time PMAIL is started?

Hoping for an answer

When scrolling through posts in this forum, I can only see posts from March 3 2026 to current, but if I look at my profile it shows posts I commented on going back to June 2023. Is there a way to see posts before March 3 2026?

Simce pegasus is dead for the forseeable future for anyone using Microsoft email I need to move all of the emails to outlook. I came across this 15 year old thread talking about using mercury and IMAP to move pegasus folders to outlook. Never used mercury before. Anyone have any idea if this method would still work? Thx

My version of IE renderer is 5/24. Is there a newer one and is there a good reason to use the newer one?

When a new mail is read, the mail disappears when I move to another mail.
I check "Pegasus New mail", trash, ...
I use Pegasus since 1994, without problems.

I use IMAP

Using PMail 4.41 (yes, I know it's old)

Maybe for the last month or so, when viewing mail in the New Mail folder, I have been receiving emails where the From field and/or the Subject field are blank.

When I examine a regular email using the Raw View, I see that those fields are plain text (appropriate email addresses or subject text). When I examine an email where the From field or Subject field are blank, I see something like this:

From: =?UTF-8?B?4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCqTmV1cm9wYXRoeVRyZWF0bWVudEdyb3Vw4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCq?= <deleted for privacy>

Subject: =?UTF-8?B?4oCq4oCqU+KAquKAqnXigKpmZuKAqmVy4oCq4oCqIEbigKpy4oCqb23igKrigKogTuKAquKAquKAquKAqmVyduKAquKAquKAquKAquKAquKAquKAqmUg4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCqUGFpbj/igKo=?=

To: <my email address>

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? What email system (host or transport) is creating these messed up fields?

Fortunately, most of these are spam, but still ..

Thanks in advance!

I just updated to 4.91 from 4.81 and found when I check POP3 host, no mails were downloaded, an error was shown.

Using "Selective mail download" worked fine though.

I found that in the host setup, under download control, I had a server-side filtering rule set. Clearing this solved the issue.

I guess something broke in during the transition to 4.91.

I hope this might help someone else out there.

Cheers,

Torben

Have happily used PMAIL since around 1985, but due to issues beyond my control I may have to convert to Thunderbird.

I have ~30K messages, organized into lots of subject specific folders. I would (obviously) like to maintain that same organization.

Are there best practices to follow in doing this?

All advice and cautions are welcome.

(Context: have been a (mostly) Windows and (also) Linux user for since 1985, so suspect I can do most things required, if only I knew what to do. Have had enough experience to know that there can be numerous gotcha's, and doing it right the first time is infinitely easier than trying to slog through it, hence the request for guidance.)

many thanks
Randy

I had an old hard drive backed up on a thumb drive. I want to read some of my old emails. I don't see any way to read these using Pegasus unless I copy them to a file in the Pegasus system. Is this correct? There are thousands of them.
