Does this sound like what you are seeing?  From the help file:

The two colour buttons in this section allow you to alter the colours Pegasus Mail uses in its list of folders to identify folders that contain new mail. The first button, Colour for folders containing unread mail, defines the colour that is used for any folder containing messages that have not been marked as read. The second button, Colour for folders containing recent unread mail defines the colour Pegasus Mail should use to identify folders into which mail has been moved since they were last opened in the current session. Note that mail is only "recent" if it is received while the program is running: as soon as you exit and restart Pegasus Mail, any messages that were "recent" in the previous session simply become "unread" in the new session.

Notice that 1) "new mail" is not the same as unread mail, and 2) "new mail" is no longer considered new mail (recent) once in a new session of Pegasus Mail. 

Thank you for this link. I am thrilled to learn of David's efforts and progress. I will be so happy to contribute financially to his work.

 Gratefully,

Welcome!  If you have multiple email addresses I encourage you to use the help files and the manual to familiarize yourself with the concepts of users and identities.  Understanding these concepts will help unlock the power and flexibility of Pegasus Mail.

[quote user="breezes"]Strange thing though.  Some of those messages were 5 years ole, but the peoblem never happened under Pegasus 4.41.  Why not?

The automatic saving of messages option is there as a precaution against loss as a result of a crash so perhaps an enchancement was made between v4.41 and v4.63 to automatically display auto-saved messages.  The assumption being that if there are any auto-saved message then the start up is a recovery from a crash so more conveniently gets the user back to the message(s) in progress.  This is just conjecture though..

Hi, Gac,

 When you say " When I run Pegasus locally on this old PC, performance is much the same." do you mean much the same as slow (like me) or much the same as in zippy like your i5?

 I did defrag early this year. The system is about in line with your old machine, a Celeron running Win2000.  I have a folder per customer, that is why there are so many. It sounds like you also have a slow search across folders and I think that may be at the root of the problem. I had resisted archiving them because of the sheer simplicity of being able to search for some unknown client-wide as it were. We keep the new mail folder generally down to one screen or less, moving stuff into the client folders as soon as we have generated some paper to clue us to who, when, what. When we forget something then it is time for an all-client folders search, usually restricted to a specific time frame - this week, this month, this year, whatever.

If I use the system monitor (Ctl-Alt-Del) and look at the memory used and the processing power used during these search operations, neither indicate that they are running out of steam. Hence my sense that it is a hdd bottleneck - and may you not be suffering from the same on your mail store server?

 Thanks for the input.

[quote user="idw"]As mentioned elsewhere Pegasus Mail's IMAP code is completely being rewritten by David Harris, and it appears to be one of the harder tasks as he recently complained to us beta testers. It currently has multiple limitations and is one of the remaining major reasons for crashes as I can tell by crash dumps submitted.[/quote]

I believe that it's no fun to deal with IMAP and I wouldn't like to do it, too.

But a good IMAP implementation is a must have today.

Sadly there are not many options these days. Maybe the least evil is Thunderbird, but I will investigate also eM Client and Claws.

This explanation sounds "strange".

I know about the length limitation in the folder format, but I see no reason why it shouldn't be possible to store a reasonable string there.

Nevertheless thanks for investigating (likely not being worth the effort).

In addition to address book file pairs there are also winpmfua.pm list of recently used addresses and two other files that also record addresses used you could copy from the old drive to the home mail box location on the new drive.

See http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_pmfiles.html

for files and names reference.

I see your post where you included what you thought was the headers has shown up in this thread.  That content is the entire message.  If you were to replace the content of the Subject header (everything from and including the beginning '=' sign and through the ending '=' sign) with something like Bad CNM then place it in your mailbox folder (c:\pmail\mail) you would then be able to see the message in the Pegasus Mail new message folder.  It's really not worth the effort since it is a worthless message but if you find this intriquing, go for it.

Enter the necessary server details in Tools | Internet options.

It works!

Thanks, bro!

A new message filter won't work because the X-PMFlags header does not exist until the message is read.  To verify this, right click on a new, unread message and select "Message headers".  You won't see an X-PMFlags header.  Open the message then check the headers again and the X-PMFlags header will now be there.  It's purpose is to maintain the message flags (e.g. has been read, has been forwarded, color). 

Consider using a spam filter that can be trained to detect these messages.  Spamhalter is built in to Pegasus Mail so would be the logical choice.

325 is most recent released build

[quote user="itzmeluigi"]The thing i noticed is that when i use "Save Message to Data file" in pegasus mail it will not save images from the email and the output of the saved email file is only around 30kb which still relies on a url to display an image.  In thunderbird when i use "Save As" it will save all images into either a .eml or .cnm file around 380kb.[/quote]

To get a CNM file, copy the mail to the local inbox. Avoid frightening Pmail by copying the CNM file instead of moving, then delete the temporary message within Pmail.

Oliver

Thank you.

[quote user="bfluet"]

[quote user="pete w"]Just one more quick question.  The STATE.PMJ and PMAIL.INI files, do

they contain any other information apart from size data? If I save these

two files after each session and then reuse them later will there be

any problems with my actually emails (including sending and receiving

setup data)?[/quote]

No, but with a caveat.  The PMAIL.INI file contains most of your configuration settings so that needs to be taken into consideration.  Beside, reusing a copy of either of these files that was saved after a session means you will be using the same one Pegasus Mail will be using so you aren't gaining anything unless you are trying to keep one PMAIL.INI file for use with one machine and another PMAIL.INI file for use with the other machine.  This would be tedious and prone to error.  Using multiple .INI files in combination with the -Y commandline switch is the better way to go.  Regarding the STATE.PMJ file, you can't have two of them so you will have to work through setting open folder sizes and positions so that they are usable on both machines.  I don't have any experience with a display as small as 10" so don't know what you might encounter there.

[quote user="pete w"]I'll try updating the LibTidy this weekend with the link you attached (it won't change or delete any of my files will it? Is there a restore function if this makes matters worse than before?).[/quote]

No, just keep a copy of the original LibTidy.dll installed with Pegasus Mail since, of course, it will be overwritten by the newly patched version. It's a matter of at most a few minutes, not necessary to wait for a weekend to try ...

I'm not near a copy of Pegasus Mail at the moment.

You can change the sort order of the folder from the Folder menu.  Change it to Date.  This should work even if the Date column is missing, although you probably won't be able to validate that it worked.  ;-) 

If you really do want to see your Date/Time column again, try holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the "-" key on the keypad (not the one near the Backspace key).  You may have to do this with the folder opened up in a classic folder window rather than preview mode (I don't use that mode so cannot be sure whether it works in preview mode).  Also, as a sort of "reset the whole UI to square one again" solution, I believe this info is stored in either the FOLSTATE.PM file or the STATE.PMJ file.  Both are located in your home mailbox directory.  You can try renaming both of these files while Pegasus Mail is not running and then start Pegasus Mail to see if all is well.

[quote user="oliwells"]

I'm having problem in setting my internet in receiving pop3. I typed the receiver pop3 email but didn't accept. Does any one experience the same problem? What did you do?

[/quote]

Could you explain what you mean by "didn't accept"?  Did it just not work, or did PMail not keep the settings you put in?

There is a vast difference between deleting messages, an action that can be reversed (only within that session if the Deleted Messages folder is not persistent), and deleting 10s, 100s, or 1000s of messages in one go by deleting a message Folder. As deleting a Folder is not a recoverable event. I'm sure Mr. Harris' intent is to protect users from themselves.
