Another option to to place the mailstore in a TrueCrypt volume. Loads as a new driver letter (ie: P: for Pegasus) instead of C:

This way the files can not be viewed at all unless Truecrypt volume is loaded with password.

I have mine in a 20GB TrueCrypt volume, the total Pegasus mailstore is just over 9 GB allowing for temp space when folders are updated.

I have been using PMail for well over ten years; this issue just cropped up. The reader header displays the "From" and "To" lines properly. However, in order to display the "Subject," "Date Sent,""Reply TO" and "CC" fields, I need to position the cursor after the end of the "To" line and click down arrow or page down. I can then view two more lines at a time. It does not matter how large I adjust the header field by dragging the bottom line of the field. That is, if the message header window is 10 lines high, I will see 8 blank lines.

I have the exact same problem with the help fields. If I press F1 or click on Help, then select a topic, I will see the title of the topic with a blank screen underneath. I can then read one or two lines at a time by positioning my cursor after the title then pressing down arrow; again, it does not matter how big the window is set, the two displayed lines will be followed by blank space.

I have tried resizing the window(s) by dragging the bottoms. It makes no difference in the behavior.

I am running 64 bit Windows 7. 

Be aware that a permanent BCC ensures you have a copy of every sent message but does not provide the same functionality as the Copy to self function (e.g. no option to resend the message).

I figured this out. It's under IERenderer options.

All I want to transfer this time are existing mail folders -- including new -- and address books, and I was hoping identities. 

With the help of search I've copied .PMI, PM!, PMM, cache, and .CNM files. Seem to have all address books and almost all mail folders now... the important ones, anyway.  

Not transferring Pmail.INI means I have to redo my identities and signatures over again?  That's not really a big deal.

Thank you very much.

idw, I was wrong, I did enable Content Control.

What I did:

Tools / Spam and Content Controls / Edit (Basic Spam)  / unchecked "Disable this definition for now

So, at the moment I've checked that option again as it seems that was freezing Pegasus, thus basically there's no spam control.

[quote user="David Harris"]My immediate reaction is that the signature file is probably assumed to be stored in ISO-8859-1 ...[/quote]

I don't think so.  The plain text signaturefiles (PMS) are in old DOS-Format ... charactercode 850.

If I use Notepad++ for editing the PMS-files, I have to change coding to "OEM850" to see the special (german) letters like ä, ö and ü correctly. Changing to ISO-8859-1 won't show them correctly. Simple DOS-Editor with Windows (EDIT in CMD) does show them correctly too.

Thank you for this gracious offer, will see if any thing that I am able to do or maybe get some accomplishment done in this area will produce some assistance in other areas. My objective has always been to increase the understanding of how these systems work and how to see where the problem is instead of constantly hammering US and OUR systems. I may not be the smartest but try to be the wisest and throw it back to them.

I would recommend to you to check the 'Raw View' tab when you have one of the 'Mail Delivery Failure'  messages available for you to review. Click the 'Open' button on the "TOOL" bar then look for the tab 'Raw View' then scroll down through the information, mostly at the top, and just see where the most mail handling information is from, like "Authentication-Results: "; "Received: " these lines will usually be fairly close to each other unless there are many mail handling entries. To me a 'give-away' that there is not a problem within our systems is when you get a returned message with the following entry at the top:

"Delivery has failed on the enclosed message for the following
reasons reported either by the mail delivery system on the mail
relay host or by the local TCP/IP transport module:

   *** TCP/IP error while processing job ***
   A network error has occurred while WinPMail attempted to send
   your message. This error could be caused by many conditions,
   including the following:
     * The remote host may have gone down.
     * Your network may have been broken or gone down.
     * You may have a configuration problem in your WINSOCK.DLL.
     * If running on a SLIP line, you may have experienced a
       timeout (increase the value in WinPMail's Network Config.
       Dialog), or the phone line may have gone down or suffered
       from excessive line noise.
   WinPMail will requeue your message and try again later.
   ---"
  With the qualification 'if you have your system setup to either automatically download and install the latest updates or have it alert you to new updates to be installed later when you are not involved some important work' keep your system as current as possible. There could be an issue with that WINSOCK.DLL file but if you have been keeping as up to date as possible there is little likelihood. 

I do not now how familiar you are with these systems so if I sound like a person that will take you by the hand and lead you through the settings, let me know because I get rather offended by some of the HELP desks that I have had to call and they sound like they are using a 'RollerDex' card file to do the troubleshooting. Meaning they have no clue as to what our problems are and probably are a recent hire off the street. The "#1" operation they do is want you to re-input your password or want you to 'open IE web browser' or whatever browser you use to access 'WebMail'.

Works here now also but it did not earlier today using Firefox or Chrome. Just tried again after seeing Michael's post and now it works fine with the US or Euro or NZ currency buttons. The beginning page where one fills out information for PayPal did not come up before. Must have been a glitch in the server at PayPal earlier. 

[quote user="whiskyfizz"]If you want to use them or consult the emails for a particular year, just copy-paste the relevant folder into the MAIL folder when Pegasus Mail is not running, then launch the program and the folder should appear.[/quote]

There is no need to copy the folders back into the mail folder.  With the Folders window active (I use plain view), go to Folders in the menu bar and select "Add mailbox to list". In the next window, point Pegasus to the directory where the folder/folders is/are stored and provide a - unique - name for the mailbox.

You are correct and that just would not happen for me, that is why the post was made. Discovered there was a 'State.PMJ' that was missing from my Admin folder. For some reason it was not created when doing the fresh install today.  Had kept my original installation on a different drive and went through and compared each folder and when there was a missing file it was copied to my new installation. There is a 'State.PMJ' in the "\PMail\Mail" folder and the "\PMail\Mail\Admin" folder. This last one is the one that tied it all together. I was missing the 'New Mail' and Deleted Messages' folders, they are now back where they belong.

Back up and fully operational as of this evening.  It all started when I neglected to connect my power adapter for my laptop and the battery died on Friday about 1100hrs local time and ended this evening about 1900hrs local time, almost 2.5 days.  Whew ! ! Very happy it is over. Solved ! ! !

A very large THANK YOU goes to "irelam' for his assistance and advice . . without him . . I hate to think of what I would have done . .

[quote user="lucjoqc"]But, do you know if it is possible to see the message's date in the draft manager ?[/quote]

You can't do anything about it without correction by the translators. It works properly with other language versions.

Pegasus Community,

This is to let you know 'irelam' talked me through this ordeal, and gave me the best advice and also assisted me in getting an Archived Copy To Self file reconnected with the one that is presently in use on my system. The feeling is GREAT and a very large Thank you goes to "Irelam" for his work. Without his assistance this probably would not have ever been completed. This problem is solved and one other post I have made about Deleted Messages and New Mail folders were not created when a fresh install was done. There again thanks goes to "Irelam" again.

Hi Brian!

I thought I had it working but whilst I can see the list of e-mails I cannot actually open one when I click on it. 

SO I thought I might try your first idea and ... I found the window - as you had suggested!!!

What is interesting however, there now seems to be a delay of around 1 sec before the mail is displayed. Whilst my wife says she can live with it I am always worried about things that are not exactly as they should be

Still, all seems to be working to the satisfaction of my wife - and you cannot have done better than that! Thank you.

Further to my previous posting on this thread, I found this possible solution for I.E

"...In Internet Explorer, click on tools>internet options and flip to the

advanced tab and check 'Use
smooth scrolling'...."

I am an ebay seller on occasion and so I get a lot of messages from ebay.  I am having a problem telling my program that I want ebay messages in my new mail folder.  I have set messages from ebay to filter to my new mail folder and I have told spam halter that that is where I want those messages.  Instead, they keep ending up in a folder that Pmail sets up called "junk and suspicious mail".  How can I convince PMail that I want those messages in my new mail folder instead?

Thanks, Bobbie

It may not be spamhalter that is sending ebay messages to Junk and suspicious mail folder. It may be Content Control that is doing it since both use that folder as their target to where to place messages. What do the headers of raw view of messages show? Can you see any added entry content control added and if so what was it? What content rule triggered?

Yes, every unread message is process through the filter set but since the second rule you showed me is the last rule then each unread message is processed through two rules.  Consider ending your rule set with an Always Exit rule.  In your case you would replace your  'Expression *" rule with an Always Exit rule,

 Also,  expression rules are much slower to process that header rules because they check the entire message contents rather than just the headers.  Replace your "Expression *.biz" rule with a header rule that checks the From header for ".biz" (no quotes, no wildcards).   This should accomplish what you want but process much faster.

I have to state that I would be very wary about doing what you are doing unless I was certain I never wanted to receive a message containing .biz or .biz in the From header.  If there is the slightest bit of uncertainty, set the action of you rule to move the messages to a designated folder.  You can then review and delete them at your leisure but at least you will have an opportunity to see them.

The large thread "Pegasus Mail and Verizon FIOS" a short way down this page may also be a good place to look.

Hi.

 I have recently set up Pegasus Mail. It was working fine but now I am having some trouble with IMAP. If I try to click on a mail I get the following message "The IMAP server that manages this mailbox or folder has reported an error during the operation you have attempted to perform." Also I no longer appear to be receiving all mails. My web server is called blacknight and they use qmail. It appears all the settings are correct I have changed them several times. Any help would be much appreciated??

Many thanks Michael. Gave it my new ISP password and managed to download 66 waiting mails!
