Rsshtml provides the same reporting that Rssmail does, but creates an Html file rather than an email message that RssMail does.

Nice one! That fixed it.

Thanks again :)

Thanks guys :)

The RTF option is on by default. I also tried turning it off.

We don't use identities. A member of staff starts Pegasus Mail with the -i <username> switch specified. Just one account is used for each staff member. If they need to look at another account, a second shortcut is created that uses the -i switch and the second username. Both shortcuts will then have the -ms switch specified so that multiple copies of Pegasus Mail can be opened at the same time.

It's a strange issue.

Filtering can result in what you describe.  You receive a new mail notification but the filter(s) moves the mail out of the new mail folder.  Do you have any new mail filters that are deleting messages or moving messages to a folder?  Is autofiltering enabled for one or more folders that is pulling mail out of the new mail folder?

Have a look at this first to see if it helps.

Just received several messages, all say the same thing: This message contains binary or non-textual data that cannot be previewed within Pegasus Mail.

I clicked on delete but nothing happens. How do I delete these messages from the New Mail folder?[/quote]

It sounds like you may have some zero-length files in the new mail folder.

Read this thread for instructions on removal:

Well I did just as you told me, after moving the mail I wanted to another foler closed PM and then opened Explorer.  Went to the Mail/ folder that held the *.CNM files and removed/Deleted them.

Had a project to complete at that point so closed down everything.  Now am back and checked my mail and there were about 6 copies of that message mixed in with some fresh email.  Forget it, about saving any email, I went in and deleted those folders again including the fresh email.  That seems to have done the trick, I HOPE!!  Only TIME will tell . .

[quote user="idw"]

[quote user="bfluet"]Confirmed that a forward with edits results in the attachment of a PM$ file.[/quote]

It only happens if the option for forwarding attachments is ticked in the forward dialog and results in an attached text file containing the original body text once again (no matter whether the original message has any attachments or not). Don't ask me why this happens, but it's this way as long as I can remember. IOW: You can either delete it before sending the message or tell your recipients to ignore it.

Thank you.

I only have one identity. It is labeled "default".  It has always been that way. 

I am going to add the errors I get from Pegasus and in the returned email below.  I do not know if they will help but I figure it can't hurt.  Bobbie

Pegasus Mail for Windows (4.63)

I am willing to let this old dog lie and move on.

You all have been wonderful trying to help a total stranger who will never be able to repay your kindness.

I am going to try what I can this last morning.  I'll try the suggestions in the 3 posts directly above.

FYI-  Very early I tried to copy old files from old version and dropped them into the 

C:\PMAIL\ MAIL\ADMIN\  directory as instructed at the beginning of this long saga.

I copied CNM, PMM/PMI, PMR/PM! and a few others from the list at the beginning.

I got pretty much the result I have now-- Folders show old data 2004 and earlier.

I tried several variations of that and finally gave up.

I deleted that 1st new install and started over with a clean new install.

This time I've tried linking/adding a new mailbox to the old pegasus folders with more or less the same result.

I only see old files in old folders pre 2005.

I've tried re-arranging my OLD ver files and re-liking.

Yes there is/was a /D directory in the old version.

I've tried linking to it with the MAIL/D and I've tried copying all the /D files up one level into the MAIL/ and linking that.

Either way I see the same old folder data.

So this is where I am now-- a clean new install that has been un-successful linking to the old folders.

I've disconnected the added mailbox link and got my new install working to poll all 3 of my pop3 addresses.

************************************

I think Jerry's comments 2 messages up assume I still have the old files copied into the new install??

That is not the case.  Also there are no other subdirectories in the old pegasus version.

It was .....\MAIL\D and that's all.  I tried it that way -no good so I copied all the \D files into the \MAIL directory

and tried the link again with the same result.

************************************

Today I will try Michael's suggestion above

1. It might be necessary to delete the file hierarch.pm in

the old mailbox you're trying to link in (maybe rename and only delete

after seeing success of some kind, trays will be gone if doing so).

2. It might help to run mbxmaint_ui.exe (from Pegasus Mail's ...\programs\ subdirectory) for fixing folder indexes of your old folder files.

Failing that- I will move on with a clean new install and start housekeeping with a new-more or less empty house!

I can access the old data using the old pegasus if I need an address or a receipt I will just copy paste the info into notepad or word or a new

mail message.  (Brian I know you've fussed at me to throw out my old Pegasus version and never run it again but it is the ONLY way I have

to access my data from the last 9 years.)

Thanks very much- My ball-cap is tipped to you all.....

Peace!!

 ************* final edit**************

I have copied the old address book files to the new install and now have what appears to be full access

to my old address books.  This is great BUT I wonder if using the old address book data will in ANY way cause problems

in the new install.  I'd hate to find some time down the road that my address books aren't quite up to par due to

the use of these old files

[quote user="denniss"]Get past the logon screen (enter user name) then when loading new mail folder Pmail hangs. Checked both (multi-user configuration) mail boxes and there aren't any mega files as has been the problem in other cases. There are, however, some 0 byte .pmi files. Is that a problem?

Tried reinstalling using the 'update' option on the installation screen; no joy.[/quote]

So mailboxes are persisting and the error should be there.

Another problem while opening the inbox may be a corrupted CNM-File with a new mail. On closed Pegasus move all CNM-Files to another directory. Open Pegasus and copy back CNM-Files one-by-one. One of them may hangup Pegasus.

Is there any antivirus allowed to scan your mailboxes (specially CNM-Files) on read? For testing disable it.

I don't know if the solution you found works but if in case of it wouldn't you can try the following :

Using the mail filtering wizard you can test the sender's address and send him/her a reply recorded in a text file.

[quote user="bfluet"]

As already stated, Pegasus Mail will not pin when it is not "installed" (e.g. it is being run from a LAN location, USB device, SD card, external drive).  This is not a limitation of Pegasus Mail but one of Win7.  You must trick Win7 by pinning an installed program then changing the properties of that pin to those of a Pegasus Mail shortcut.

[/quote]

This has been done not once but several times using different programs, Scotty the watch dog BillP Studios & Irfvan View with a copy remaining pinned either on the Status Bar and/or Start button top previous run programs and even remained with the previous programs Icon and changing to PM's Icon.  None would work, have changed all back to the original programs and Icons.  Just need to learn to live with this the way it runs and works.

Thank you for all suggestions and the assistance.  With all the other difficulties that have transpired over this last weekend I am surprised my system even works . . .

[quote user="denniss"]I get the input window to enter user name, Pegasus goes through the normal routine until the last step, opening new mail folder, then I get this message:

Well, I was able to recreate the circumstances exactly: same friend initiated correspondence, I responded, he responds commenting on the mystery string.  We did it twice, first with Clam Sentinel configured to white list - not monitor - the Pegasus program and mailbox directories, second time with directories removed from white list. 

Both times, the string did not appear.

I guess I will have to wait for the mystery string to reappear to farther pursue its cause.

Thanks for the consult.

[quote user="bfluet"]There are plenty of other things that can be impacted when changing operating systems.  The fact that you have a non-standard install makes it more difficult to troubleshoot.  The best option may be to do a clean install of Pegasus Mail and then restore message files, addressbook files, distribution list files, etc. from the old mailbox directory(ies).  Hans' guide to filenames and extensions is a valuable reference for this.  http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_pmfiles.html.[/quote]

Strictly recommended: Windows 7 just changes so many things that it'll be almost impossible to figure out what's going on there. It might be an issue with the TEMP folder, but this is only another guess.

[quote user="KathleenSews"]The SpamHalter error message is shown below. Should I do this?[/quote]

The image you tried to attach is unfortunately not available for us, but don't do anything like this before trying a clean reinstall and transferring all required files to the new location.

I as well get many per day and do the same.  This was the first time the Alert came in from Avast! and all went well.  There have been more than usual in the last month or so.  Have also noted that SPAM Halter is not classifying all of the ones that are IDed as [Bulk] by my ISP, which I have set in their WebMail on their server.  Maybe need to go in and set a filter in PegMail to ID any that are [Bulk] in the Subject line for SPAM Halter to take over.

Simultaneous connection to a mailbox with multiple instances of Pegasus Mail can cause corruption to the folder structure.  Had that happen here last week when a user ignored the locked mailbox warning.

Hmm - outside your domain - you are shure we are talking about distributionlists as known to Pegasus ... or do you talk about mailinglists?

A distributionlist within Pegasus is only accessable for those within your network, who have access to the distributionlistfile. It is only an function of Pegasus, usually not available to the internet.

A mailinglist may be configured to set header "reply-to" to the mailaddress of the mailinglist.

But in both cases: if the one answering has configured his mailclient to answer only to FROM (ignoring any other field like REPLY-TO, TO, CC) or (i.e. with thunderbird) clicks on "Answer" instead on "Answer list", this is simply a misshandling by the user of that mailclient. If he uses Pegasus, in my opinion best selection in answering dialog is to only select "Reply-To". If REPLY-TO is not set, Pegasus will automatically use FROM for answering.

Reinstallation shouldn't be necessary.  What are the server settings you have been given by the isp?
