Just to report that I did a fresh install of PMail on my desktop machine, as a result of which (touch wood!), drag & drop works fine for attachments, and other problems have been cleared up, such as a corrupted Junk mail folder and inability to use PMDebug and get my video card to load PMail on my 2nd monitor.  So that's good.  Hope it lasts.

I then copied the whole PMail folder to my laptop, but sadly the drag & drop problem persists on that machine. (Note that I don't get the "No entry" cursor:  the cursor looks exactly as it should for a copy operation.  It's just that the dropped file fails to appear in the attachment pane.)  Perhaps one day I'll make time to do a proper fresh install of PMail on my laptop too, but this has taken enough time already.  Thanks to Martin and Brian above for their time.

[quote user="Guy"]If you have more than one Identity, become the you main startup
Identity, not necessary "<Default>" (via the toolbar drop-down
or the menu Tools > Identities).
At the menu Tools > Internet options... | Receiving (POP3)
verify that the appropriate POP3 definitions are enabled,
and review the settings in the 'Polling controls' and
'Checking multiple identities' sections.
Then repeat the above for the other Identities, ensuring
those do not cause the same POP3 definitions to be checked.

You must be using a cell phone or some ipad because these appear as very short lines, sixty three (63) characters per line.

 Not a problem just noticed this.  I had already gone into the Tools/Identities and found there were two other identities included in that box, removed the other two (2) leaving just <Default> as mine.

 The multiple checks have now stopped.  I did not setup any other identity to have access to this PM client, at least do not remember doing that.  It was done in such a hurry that I may have.  It is now working the way I feel it should, in this area any way, maybe by the time Mr. Harris gets v5.x done and released this one will be fully operational.  Then when the next version is released I can know what I am doing and will not have any of these difficulties in the next version.

 Thank you for these suggestions and triggering my curiosity to investigate some on my own.  You confirmed my decision to go where I did gives me more confidence in finding things more on my own and not bother you with such trivial problems.  Leaving you free to do the more difficult . .

Good Luck and again Thank YOU so very muchly . . BAG!!

Spamhalter then Content Control act before Rules.

Ensure Content Control or some rule (e.g. blackist) is not moving to Spam folder.

Try...
Right-Click false-spam message in Spam folder
Spamhalter > Train not spam
Then move message to New mail folder

Sorry to tell you this but those fonts are hard coded as are the fonts in numerous other places within Pegasus Mail.  This is a known problem for those of us using hi-res monitors.  I ended up stepping down my 1920x1280 resolution to make Pmail usable.  I don't remember what resolution I am using (it is on my home laptop) but is was

the next lower resolution that maintained the same aspect ratio.  Those fonts are still small but I can deal with them now.  Consider doing a forum search on the subject to review other posters responses to this issue.

Fixed!

Right click on Junk mail folder in Pegasus main window

> Auto filtering > Manage AutoFilter Folders 

Seach through list and delete the entry

Thanks for the lead Guy

George

Thanks; I'll give that a try.

Try this one:

Thank you Brian and all. Thanks to your settings I was able to get it going.

Thanks again.

The X-Mailer header merely identifies the sending Program. I don't know whether it can be suppressed, but here is no need to do so.

Your admin is an ass.

Did you try deleting the public folder using Tools > Public Folders?

Duuuhhhh!

 Thanks ...

Egad. The only corruption here is a corruption in the brain of the user (me).

[:$]

As a very long time user I have been updating pmail in place rather than doing fresh installs, and this led me to overlook the "Where a choice for formats exist display the fancy version" on the message READER, as I had turned off use of formatted text in message REPLYING.

With display of fancy version on, the Message tab shows the formatted html, and more important, it prints formatted properly, headers and all.

I knew it had to be some stupid little thing I was doing wrong.

(In case it's of use to the developers, my mental bug was in thinking that to get html to print, I had to go to the Attachments tab, select the html, and then print that. I suppose that should work too, just like printing from the Message tab, but that's a different issue.)

Anyway, case closed.

[quote user="Reesa"]Where do the crash logs go? I did not see any link to a Debug log from within Pegasus.[/quote]

If you don't get alerted about an auto-saved message there is none. In such a case you should launch PM via the debugger, there should be a respective shortcut in the Start menu folder created for the debugger. Reading the Readme.txt file should give you some hints as well.

I just upgraded to Win 7 and I really wrestled with the WinExplorer search box before giving up.  I opted to install and use the Explorer Plugin for NotePad++;  it works very well. 

I found one .PMX message in my Home directory with a key word that  appears in the body of the message.  The message type I have is Final form.  It is a text-only message; no RTF format nor attachments nor images.  There was no corresponding .PNX file.  I deleted the .PMX file and now have an empty outgoing mail box.

 Thanks very much.

Have you tried the Selective Download on the File menu?  Select the message you want then click the Retrieve and Delete  button and then the Make It So button

It should download regardless of any rules

I tried this. Doesn't work . And as I said there are no POP3 rules defined.

Since Pegasus has not changed, and others using other systems at the same location can download these eMails,  I'm beginning to wonder if it is a Winsock or MTU related issue on the system having the problem.

"Oberguru". Pathetic.

TO ALL that posted and assisted,

Most of my issues are now gone.  The only one that is not solved yet is the one where an accepted email is still being moved to SPAMHALTER folder, now it is being moved when the InBox is clicked on to open, that is when it is getting moved.  I have gone in and set a filter for that specific FROM field to be moved to it's holding folder which it is not being moved there but to the SPAMHALTER.  Still working on that one.  The other items seem to be holding so far, further testing to be done later, again . . 

Thanks, Brian.  I appreciate your response.  Bobbie

Michael,

Do you intend to tell me you did some testing as you had asked me if I had done?  Thank you for being as intelligent as you appear.  That is a feature that has not been demonstrated in most of these forums, which I hold membership in about 55 of them.  Some have even threatened me with being banned if I did not stop reporting to other users that I have run two (2) firewalls, two (2) antivirus softwares, three (3) malware software and have done scans simultaneously with them all.  And have Microsoft's EMET latest version on my system without any lockup, yes the system is rrraaatttthhheeerrr sssslllloooww but all is well that ends well.

 Back to the original issue, it looks as though wait is the only solution, Version 5.x . . .

Hi Jerry Wise

Thank you for your help on this basic query that I had. I was very pleased to read your advice as although I had looked I hadn't in the right place! 

So many thanks. It's so useful to people like me with only a basic knowledge of Pegasus Mail that there is help available on the Pegasus Forum.

Marcel

I now see that my Pmail\Mail folder is corrupt. I should back up more frequently.
