Yes you can download without deleting or with deleting, your choice.

You can also look at whats on the server and delete anything you want too.

-mark for download

-mark for download with delete

-mark fot delete only

-make it so.

[quote user="Bobby"]When using PMail I change to Classic mode but every time I go back in to check my mail the system has reverted to preview mode.  What do I have to do to have the application remember my settings so that I do not have to switch.

Make sure the pmail.ini file is not marked read only and also the state.pmj file too. Failure to save settings may also be a symptom of a new or changed install and to improper location that the win7 system thinks is protected location. Are you running your install from the c:\pmail location only? That is where it must be on all Vista and later systems.

Look at Help, About, Info display to see where the winpm-32 is located and also to see where the home and new mail box location is. It should be c:\pmail\mail\admin for a new full clean install.

Been away for a while but decided I would continue to use drive mapping as it works.

Thanks for any help & suggestions.

Thanks, Jerry, for the quick reply (via email). Forcing the server address for all outgoing mail got checked at some point. (Tools/Options/Outgoing mail)

 Back in business.

Really appreciate this forum and the great support it offers.

Thanks for the response - since we only have the one mail box I was able finally to edit settings in the default identity for POP3 mail.

Since my posting, I have found the problem and report it here in case anybody else should have a smiliar problem.

My new laptop came with a 30 day free trial of Norton Security, which I signed up for.  The 30 days expired a couple of days ago and, fortunately, I didn't pay to extend it because after it expired Pegasus suddenly started working as it should and as I was able to connect to my server ok.

Norton Security must have been blocking Pegasus from connecting to my ISP.  Some may argue that this is what Norton Security is supposed to do and, while I agree with that, surely it shouldn't block it without telling me it was doing so?  Also, the error message I was receiving within Pegasus was telling me that it was my ISP that was refusing my connection and, although I knew this wasn't true because I was able to connect to it on another computer, I couldn't fathom out why it was telling me that - now I know!

I was able to solve the problem after finding out that when I tried to copy my PMAIL folder to another drive, one particular file could not be copied.  I looked for the origination folder of the file, saw it was created on the day the problems started, figured that must be it and deleted it.  Voila!

Thanks Brian,

All appears to be working OK now

Greetings, I am wondering if I will be able to use Pagasus Mail on a native MS-DOS 6.22 machine that runs MSClient (WFW Add-on).

I am trying to send email via a batch file. My main program can swap out and free up a few hundred kb of ram.[/quote]

I always use blat to send mails from batch files -   It is simple to use and has a very small footprint.

As far as I can tell blat is not for native DOS but for the 16 or 32 bit Windows command line.

Thanks Irelam,

I'm using the option in Sending mail / Permanent BCC address and that works.

As Copy to Self is already doing part of the job, is there a way to tell Pmail to BCC only in case of attachments?

Edit: actually BCC is not the best solution as that means downloading own messages with attachments. Especially if they're big it's quite annoying. I'm quite surprised that Pegasus doesn't automatically saves attachments.

With Pegasus Mail open, click the Help menu item, then click "About Pegasus Mail". Then click the Info button. You will get a screen with a lot of different information.

The item you need is "Home mailbox location".  Note the location.

Next using Windows Explorer, navigate to that address. To make things easier at this point, click on the heading for Type, to get the directory content sorted by filetype.

Scroll down till you find the Pns files. Select any/all of these files, and click Delete .  You are done.  Close and then restart Pegasus Mail, and your signature files are gone.

HTH

Problem solved....Many Thanks!

>Is there anything wrong with:

>C:\PMAIL\winpm-32.exe -Y pmail_leno.ini

The default path is C:\PMAIL\PROGRAMS but if your Pegasus Mail executables reside in C:\PMAIL then your command line should work.

>If I change something here it is changed also when i just start winpm-32.exe 

Mostly not.  Most (but not all) configuration changes are stored in the PMAIL.INI file so configuration changes made when running with the PMAIL_LENO.INI will only be written to the PMAIL_LENO.INI file.  When you just start winpm-32.exe the PMAIL.INI file is used so you will need to make the same configuration changes for it.

As for you previous question about the windows,  I don't remember if I had to open windows when I started using my PMAIL_HI.INI file.  I do remember having to resize and reposition windows though.  Perhaps you need to set the Pegasus desktop up the way you want it for the copied .INI, I just don't remember.   As Jerry said, STATE.PMJ also plays a role in this so in may case, I keep the same folder windows open regardless of which INI file I am running as.  Make a backup of your original .INI file for safe keeping while working at this.

Located at http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/pegadd/entry38727.aspx  This is a minor upodate to detect and ignore images used to track user visits to a website. The images are 1 pixel by 1 pixel in size, so are not really visible at all

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.
