Actually Pegasus Mail will confirm delivery of your message, only if the receipient has enabled that confirmation response. Problem is that this response also tells *spammers* that your email address is active. The act of confirming the opening of your message does very little extra from just confirming the delivery, as in both cases all you can assume is that your message arrived (got delivered) ok. 

The only system I know that actively tracks Delivery and Reading is MS Outlook, and for that application I believe most sites will enable it for internal mail traffic only.

Greetings from Texas, USofA,

Have reviewed the filters setup and cannot find any references to returned undeliverable mail to be placed in the SPAM Halter folder.  Does not happen all of the time just when I least expect.  Have also had some copies to self of sent mail being sent to SPAM Halter.  I have read the "" and found no connections in those filters either for individual folders.  Plus have a problem with some mail that should not be sent to SPAM Halter being sent there without a filter setting for that email addy nor the subject area.  That also is not regular just every now and then.

 What could I be missing as I have looked just about everywhere in the filters?  Just learned about right clicking on individual folders and checking the filters which has been done on the SPAM Halter and Junk/Suspicious mail folders with no problems found.  Will review all folders, for filters, including the In Box, had never known of filters there before now, just a little confused.

Thank you for reading my message . .

******************* Up Date on my above issue *****************

Just had an email from Microsoft AND SANS NEWSBITES being sent to SPAM Halter, checked the Filter for the InBox and did find one entry for Microsoft and removed same, but; there was not any for the SANS organization.  Also noticed the same list is found for any of the folders.  Do not know how Microsoft's addy managed to get there but it did, not there any more though.

Thank you for reading this part as well . .

I did do a search in this forum for this fault, but obviously put in different words, or whatever.

These acknowledgement emails are actually after submitting spam to a reporting system. I will get in contact with them, but not sure they will do anything about it, as their system is probably doing enough for them such that they may not want to fix it.

Thank you.

Cheers

Rod.

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.

best
David

[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.
[/quote]

 

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.

Thanks again.

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.

Regards, 

Charles
