Simple question indeed. The answer on the other hand... There are different approaches to this. Martin already suggested one. Another one would be to use public folders on a share. I think you should be able to find sufficient information on this in the Pegasus Help files. Yet another approach would be to use a service like Dropbox. That's where I save private mail that I receive at work that I also want to be able to access at home, for which I use the Pmail Add mailbox functionality in both my Pmail setups at home and at work. Many IMAP lovers will probably say "Why not use IMAP for this?" I don't have a very satisfactory answer to this, except that I'm just not such a fan of IMAP. I have a feeling that POP3 just gives me a little bit more control.

Don't forget also that double clicking on a Selective Mail Download list message gives you all the header data without doing anything else.   It was sometime before I found this trick.  Quite useful if you have any doubts about the "message source", it can be deleted at the server to avoid any spam, etc.   I find in fact that just the normal Subject Headings are enough in most cases to show what is undesirable or unwanted such as adverts from web sites that have been visited.

Just an update to my original query and the response from ms007.

I can now confirm also that on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L870-171 with an Intel CORE i5 2.5 GHz CPU using Win 8 Pro (64 bit) there was no problem in installing PMail v4.63.     I have set up PMail with my two ISP email addresses and it sends and receives messages correctly.  

As an aside this is after a local PC shop installed a Classic Shell  < http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/  >  for me as I found the WIn 8 interface unacceptable.   See for example "Downgrading form Windows 8 to 7: What you need to know" in PCWorld at < http://www.pcworld.com/article/2015107/downgrading-from-windows-8-to-7-what-you-need-to-know.html >

Could it be due to Owner Rights? If user name different (the secid string will be different no matter what) then you may need to 'take ownership' of the *.cnm files. Check against newer mails as to ownership and then go to the files that can not be deleted and change/add your current owner userid.

The easiest way is just copy. Shut down Pegasus Mail and copy ?:\Pmail folder and sub-folders to desired destination drive. It's easy as that.

 OTOH you may try a backup software that will do a lot more like compressing, incremental or differential copying, etc. There are several freely available in the Net.

Anyway, remember to always shut down Pegasus Mail before backup.

If check time is aimed to 14 minutes, set "Tools » Internet options » Receiving (POP3) » Check for new POP3 mail every:" to 840 seconds. If 15 minutes to 900 seconds.

Thanks for the help...

 I solve my problem, it was just a TLS configuration...

I asked the open-ended question, as the OP may find their answer in the process;
e.g., a Content Control definition is disabled. Or perhaps they are employing blacklisting
another manner, such as a filtering rule, like: If ListScan "@BLACK.PML" Delete "".

He mentioned the use of Mercury. I'm sure this task would be best addressed
via SMTP transaction-level filtering.

What's the complete errormessage?

Who's your provider?

 Did you forward or bounce?

You can send new mails but not forward?

Hmm ... as far as I know there is no way for Pegasus to find and use a standard rulefile outside your folder with the mailbox. What you found seems to be a Folder with a backup. Have a look into that rulefile (simply with editor / notepad). Are there the rules you added?

I checked, waht mailfiles may be there. Maybe I missunderstand, where you created rules:

WINRULES.PMC:  Filter for new mails on opening inbox
WINRULEA.PMC:  Filter for new mails on closing inbox
WINCSELF.PMC:  Filter for copies to self
RULExxxx.PMC:  Common filterset (don't know how this is called in englisch Pegasus)
RULExxxx.PNP:   Filterset for mails during POP3-download

Maybe you created rules of last type and you have been searching for the wrong extension?

Thanks for the response caisson.  I think that Irelam may have the answer.  I'll try.

This is a know limitation of Pegasus Mail and a genuine problem when you get around 1920x1080 resolution.  The fonts in following fields and screens are hardcoded and can't be adjusted:  To, Subject, Signature & Identity fields, configuration screens, spell check screens and popup notices (like the Lazy HTML warning).  Some folks report benefits from using screen magnifying apps.  Adjusting font sizes in Windows will not help.

[quote user="mcat0"]I was receiving messages from CNET and noticed that nothing would appear in the message screen even though the raw view showed considerable data. I am using XP and Win 7 (different computers) and Pmail 4.63 build 325. I unsubscribed to CNET's email messages. I've noticed some other sender's messages do not appear also. I have no idea if this is an HTML issue or what. Any help will be appreciated.

Try switching between fancy and plain text views (press V key) and see if matters.
Ensure you are using the latest version of or BearHTML (which ever you employ).

I'm doing exactly what you want. The solution is very simple: create groups with accounting system of the operating system, where the public folders reside (in my case it's a Novell Netware server). Give groups needed rights to those folders. Accounting has to be handled by OS - not the software on that OS.

Doh! For some reason I ignored that pegasus icon as decoration or "about". Thanks for saving me more wasted time. Appreciated.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm sure that the order in the Folders is hardcoded as:
Mailbox
Mounted (added mailboxes)
Public (System-wide) folders
IMAP

I'm not using the latest and will upgrade.  Actually - the message which does not truncate is a html msg and the one which truncates is not.  But I will upgrade and try again. Thanks.

Since the -roam switch is necessary for me to access my mail on different computers having different available drive letters for USB, it is now clear to me that the easiest solution (for me) is for the entire PMAIL folder to reside in the root directory of the encrypted volume. Thank you all for your comments, which will certainly be useful to those not needing the -roam switch, or for those having more experience and understanding of the processes than me.

> Any thoughts on how I might be able to find the "deleted" folder contents?

After restoring an old version of the file in the same directory? No way [:(]

For the future: if accidently deleting a folder within Pegasus, close Pegasus and do nothing within Windows. Get a recovery tool (if you don't already have, do it on another PC), start it from CD/DVD/USB-Stick/memory card (don't install it on the PC!), go to the directory, where the folderfile resided (your mailboxdirectory) and try recovering the file from deletion. If you do anything within windows (specially if windows writes anything to disc), the on deleting freed sectores of the file may be overwriten and the recovery tool is not able to collect (all) the sectors for recovering the file.

That's what we tell our users here, if they accidently delete anything on their local disks. Most times we are able to recover, if they heed our advice.
