Since Pegasus is an e-mail client not a wordprocessor there are limits as to what can be passed from Word 2003 into the Pegasus editor. If you do require the formatting to be 'exact', you could save the Word 2003 as PDF (cutePDF is a great 'printer' for pdf creation from any WinXX application) and attach to the email itself. Would be higher quality than an image embed.

Food for thought.

Johnny,

I have been assisted many times by the very best, "Mr. Thomas Stephensons," as well as these that are presently assisting now. They are good and very patient with all, this issue had just about driven me completely KNUTS. From what I had been told, the Mail folder should be within the same folder the programs folder is within, in other words, example:

 X:\PMail\Mail

(X:)\PMail\Programs

Those are supposed to be connected on the same drive . . you can place it anywhere as long as they are together. In other words you can place them all on a USB Memory Stick or a Micro Mini Chip or even an external USB H/D, but; expect it to run rather slow and give some issues. I had started with v4.63 and still had issues especially running slow, that is when the decision was made by me to create a separate partition on the main H/D and load it there, mine is on F:\ of the main hard drive. Runs much faster and only problems I have now are not knowing or not understanding what to do and that is getting out of my way as I learn more.

This is getting to be too long and you need to work . . good to know improvements are showing up . . keep going . .

 

P.S. Also pleased you can read through my fingers not spelling correctly some of the time . .

It sounds like a mouse driver problem.  I would suggest you first try reverting to a classic mouse on a cable to see if standard mouse wheel actions work. Pegasus Mail uses standard Windows mouse drivers from companies such as Microsoft and Logitech.  The fact that no one else is reporting this problem suggests it is occuring on few if any other user PCs. The number of 64 bit Windows machines is growing rapidly. So for instance are you on the latest version of the vendor drivers for 64 bit? Also are the other mouse actions such as left and right click still working?

In Windows 7 it is also worth checking the directory permissions for any folders you create as often the user creating them does not have full control.  All users who will be logged on and using PMail will need at least read and write permissions in the folders where email is stored (in your case I believe you are planning to use C:\PMail\Mail....  It is worth making sure that all users have full control of this directory and all subdirectories and files.

Thank you for the answers.

My first contact with W7 is far from easy. But I finally found how to un-hide files and directories and found the PMAIL.CFG (sorry for the name confusion) in AppData. The contents seemed correct.

 I looked again at the referenced post that UAC seems to be a real pain.

But as Jerry advised also, better to install PMAIL in c:\pmail.

So I uninstalled from C:\Program Files\ and re-installed to C:\pmail and still following the method I use to do (like Thomas Stephenson indicates also) , so without a pre-configured mailbox, and configured the mail box location later.

This time I can get at my mail for all users, so I suppose it has all to do with the UAC approach in W7 and the way pmail handles data and program.

Hi there,

   This is a known problem with this company's invoices. It should only happen if you are using Bearhtml to do the html rendering. To prove this out, while viewing this message, key in Shift + Ctrl + R which will turn off rendering of CSS content in the message. Close and re-open the message and it should appear correctly formatted.

HTH

[quote user="weamish"]Been monitoring with Process Lasso - how does winpm-32.exe use 50% of CPU when Peg isn't doing anything? (not checking or sending mail)  Thanks!  ...Steve

See , e.g.: Set Load Window Internet Services ... to Always on Tools => Options =>Advanced settings and restart Pegasus Mail.

I may not be understanding your problem correctly but ...

I usually have the New Mail Folder and Mail Folders windows displayed side by side equally sharing the screen. Reading a new message and other activities often changes this arrangement so I'll close all but those two original windows, make sure the New Mail Folder is the active window, then select Window/Tile from the menu bar which arranges both windows per my preference. I always make sure the screen is laid out this way when I exit the program as Pegasus restores the layout as it was set up when the program is closed.

The image cache is on your PC, the location depends on which html renderer you use (either Bearhtml or IERenderer). The images are held for a length of time supplied by the user. See Cache-days in Bearhtml.ini and IERenderer.ini

As for writing an extension, this will be next to impossible, as it would have to duplicate all the function of Pegasus Mail, as it downloads and handles each incoming message in their various formats. As mentioned in a previous posting on this thread, the images are for the most part not held inside a message but are only supplied by downloading from the originator or other site when a message is opened.

And finally for your information, an extension can be written in just about any language, but for ease of implementation either Delphi /Pascal or "C" would be preferred. There are people here that can help you, should you attempt to code this yourself.

Because Yahoo recently decided that POP3 clients would have to be SSL enabled, I finally got round to upgrading from Pegasus 4.01 (I believe) to 4.63.  This upgrade (not a new install) was successful except I had to reconfigure the Network configuration for each identity.  Three of these do not utilise SSL security, three identities do.

After reconfiguration, all seemed well, though there was one incident of the BSOD when testing one of the SSL-enabled IDs, which did not reoccur - at first.  I checked each ID for receiving and sending.

However, soon afterwards, I found that checking any ID with SSL security for incoming mail, I get the BSOD.

I deleted all the IDs and reset them.  Those without SSL are ok, but the first one I tested that did, BSOD crashed on checking for incoming mail.

I've attached the reports generated by XP (manifest.txt, Mini100313-04.dmp & sysdata.xml) as a zip file.  They mean 0 to me...

Any ideas would be most welcome.

 Thanks !

Just to let you know that AVG company upgraded AVG2013 Free version to AVG2014 as part of their regular maintenance schedule, along with signature files etc.  Anyone using VIRSCAN virus invocation software with Pegasus Mail or VIRPROT with Mercury, MUST update their Virscan.ini, or Virprot.ini file to point to the new directory as soon as this upgrade is performed.  The line in question will look like the following after updating the directory info:

; For AVG 2014   (notice semi-colon at start of this line to indicate a comment line)

CmdLine=C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2014\Avgscanx.exe /SCAN /ARC "%f" 

A slightly different string may be necessary for Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems onward.  Both the Program Files directory name and the actual scanning program name will be different already.

Please contact me at irelam@telus.net if any concerns

In your case it is not identities but POP3 hosts that you need to look at.  Go to Tools > Internet Options then open the Receiving(POP3) tab.  Remove or disable the POP3 hosts that you no longer need. 

Also, be aware of the settings at the bottom of the Receiving(POP3) window that control the checking of multiple POP3 hosts.

Finally, you may wish to go a step further and clean up any obsolete POP3 host definitions.  To do this click the Add button.  It will open a window in which you can work with all configured POP3 host definitions.

Consider enabling internet session logging.  The log can be helpful in

pinpointing the point of failure.  I STRONGLY suggest reading the help file about internet session logging.  Don't forget to disable it.  Don't post content of the log with obfuscating your login credentials.

Also, this article shows inbound.att.net uses port 445 for SMTP and requires SSL so make sure you have those settings configured correctly.

[quote user="Aircut"]last update was jan 2012.... is there any update scheduled soon?[/quote]

Have you read  that David wrote recently? 

I always double the estimated time given so 3-6 months would seem to be a reasonable estimate assuming no hold ups along the way and there always is or new problems are discovered during testing phase that must be fixed prior to release. 

Part of e-mail nowadays involves HTML and that is never static and is ever changing and also Windows operating systems are also never static and one never quite knows what new hurdles will be introduced with any new MSWindows version of OS or MSIE. Who knows what may slip in as part of Win8.1.

D'Oh!

 

Good thought Brian, but no that wasn't it ... Aderoy hit the nail on the head. 

 Coincidence struck!  After being away, a lot of mail I hadn't sorted out yet was still in the new mail box and it tipped over the magic number the very day that the system decided to release its factory installed smoke!

[quote user="selberherr"]Sometimes I receive emails with an embedded URL which is not properly identified, see attached screenshot.[/quote]

It's a known issue with Pegasus Mail's link detection that occurs especially if either Reformat long lines or Wrap long lines is enabled as reader option (via context menu/right mouse click). You will also notice that it becomes even worse with multi-line URLs. You can only highlight the complete URL and select Open selection as hyperlink from the context menu for opening such URLs in your browser.

[quote user="Scott Davies"]

Greetings.  I am working to configure Pegasus.  I have checked the POP3 and SMTP settings with the server for my website, and they are all confirmed to be correct.  MS Outlook connects with no problem using these settings, but Pegasus both on my desktop and on my laptop finds the password wrong.

Is there any advice in a case like this?  I would much like to use PM instead of Outlook.  Thank you.

You really have to supply MORE information.

Who is the email provider ? ( Ex: QWest, Hotmail, GMail, Verizon, AT&T, etc )

What is the SMTP and POP3 addresses and associated ports ?  ( Ex:  mail.comcast.net & TCP port 995, smtp.comcast.net @ TCP port 465 )
