I sounds like the Win8 install of Pegasus Mail is working in a new mailbox and not the one used by the Win7 installation.  In the Win8 install of Pegasus Mail, go the Help menu and select About Pegasus Mail... Click the Info button then look for the following entries to see what Pegasus is working with:

WINPMAIL.EXE directory:
Home mailbox location:
New mailbox location:

Pegasus Mail does not provide a way to open a folder when a new message arrives. It is designed for all mail to come into the new mail folder (for which there are several different new message notification methods) and then be distributed to folders.  That being said, the versatility of Pegasus Mail allows the filtering of new messages directly to folders but this circumvents the built in new message notification functions.  To address that issue Pegasus changes the color of folder names in the folder list to green if they contain unread messages in addition to displaying the message count of read:unread messages.

As for IMAP connections, the only notification of new mail that I am aware of is when the connection is to a Pegasus Mail or Mercury/32 mailbox.  In this case the new mail notification method configured in Pegasus Mail also applies to the new mail folder of the IMAP connected mailbox. 

Have you tried running Pegasus Mail in List mode?  List mode allows you to configure the Pegasus Mail desktop with open folder windows. 

The hierarch.pm file is user specific.  There will be one in each users mailbox folder.  There shouldn't be one in your main PMAIL folder.

[quote user="TheSwitchOver"]Sounds easy ... and I got that email from Han ... but it is not as easy as it sounds ... do the two programs have top be open or is this a back end event and when I try to drag and drop nothing seems to work properly, meaning nothing happens.  I don't mean to be troublesome but consider me a complete novice when trying to figure this out.[/quote]

 Identify the Windows directory that contains the Eudora mailbox

With Pegaus Mail open, open the Folder window (no need to do this if you use Preview mode). 

While the Folder window or Preview window is active click the Folder pull down menu and select Add mailbox to list

Enter the path to the Eudora mailbox directory, give it a name then click OK.

The Eudora mailbox should now be visible at the bottom of the Pegasus Mail folder list.

[quote user="TheSwitchOver"]I also tried to use a converter from Dragon Computer consulting ... I have added pmm folders to the back end in the pmail folder, but it does not translate into folders in the program ... am I putting these in the wrong place.  You have to take into account that their program was writen in 1997.[/quote]

The pmm files would need to be added to a mailbox folder while Pegasus Mail is closed.  If Pegasus recognizes the new pmm files they will be added to the folder list.  It's possible that Pegasus doesn't recognize them as valid folder files.  Exporting then importing would be the next thing to try.  You may need to manipulate the exported file to make the field format match what Pegasus will be looking for on import.

I have not yet tried your suggestions but tas soon as I return to te office I will.

I'll let you know the results. Thanks for your help.

Obviously, but as I don't need this persistent reminder (and I doubt I am the only one), there should be a toggle by which those of us who wish to eliminate this can do so.  Just sayin'.

An update of sorts...

A partial success... one WinXP PC I upgraded to IE8 and that solved the problem.

Tthe MiniDump is running on the server that's serving most of the WinXP PCs that are having the trouble, and I am waiting to hear if that catches any problems. Those PCs are running IE8 so that removes the instillation as a cure for the trouble that's happening there.

I haven't installed Pegasus locally on a PC yet.

Thanks, Jerry, that did the trick.  Bobbie

Thanks, Jerry. I guess I'll ignore it unless it happens again. :) 

There is some malformed spam making the rounds that is crashing Pegasus Mail with a C++ error but it is occurring immediately when these messages are attempted to be added to the new mail folder.  This is quite different from what you are experiencing but I thought it worth sharing.  The Subject of these crasher messages is very long and contains UTF-32 and UTF-16 encoded content.

Here's an example:

Subject:

=?ascii?B?RlJFRSAgVHJhbnNVbmk=?==?utf-32?B?b24sIEVxdWlmYXggICBhbmQgRXhwZXJpYW4gICBTY29yZXMgIERlbGl2ZXJlZCA=?==?utf-16?B?IAAgAEkAbgBzAHQAYQBuAHQAbAB5ACEA?=

The only solution to this particular problem is to locate the offending .cnm file and remove it from the mailbox directory.

The server is not accepting that password.

[quote user="bfluet"]If double clicked I receive the IER warning but the file does not open.[/quote]

Brian, Pegasus Mail actually executes resp. loads these files and expects to see real spaces instead of encoded ones. I've now added a conversion check so it should work as expected. If you send me an email (via IERs About dialog) refering to this thread I can send you a test version.

Do you have Tools => Options => Advanced settings => Load Windows Internet Services set to Always? You should, and restart Pegasus Mail afterwards.

Hi Michael,

sure you may! [:)]  I have about 250 valid  entries in hierach.pm  and even the same number of invalid entries. It makes qwuite a diffrence at starttime. I guess Pmail seaches somewhere for the not existing folders.

 But more importend is, that I need to scan the hierach.pm in order to get the proper foldername. I have pmail linked to the CRM, so that the CRM-user can directly open the cutomers mailbox from within the CRM. (The CRM patches the desktop.pm0 so that pmail at starttime opens the fiting mailbox.) Therefore I wanted to get a rid of those invalid entries.

See my

One heads up for you to be aware of.  If you are installing Pegasus Mail on a hi-res display device (1920x1080) be prepared for all Pegasus Mail system fonts to be very small.  This includes the To:, Subject: , CC: fields, address books, configuration windows & help windows.  These fonts are hard coded so are not configurable.  If using List mode, the fonts for new message contents, the message reader window, and other windows (like the folder window) are configurable.  If using Preview mode, the fonts in all three panes are configurable. 

This is a how to setup a secure (SSL) connection to your outlook.com account. It has been a bit of a PITA to get it working properly so I'll share my findings with you guys

First of all. IMAP doesn't work with outlook.com yet

POP3/SSL

Server HostName: pop3.live.com

UserName: [your email]@outlook.com

Password:

TCP Port: 995

Security - Via Direct SSL connect

[X] Disable certificate validation (Shame on you Microsoft - Try WITH validation first in case MS fixed it)

SMTP/SSL

Server Host Name: smtp.live.com

TCP Port: 587

Security - Via STARTTLS

[X] Disable certificate validation (Shame on you Microsoft - Try WITH validation first in case MS fixed it)

[X] Login to the SMTP server using the following details - Same UserName and Password as POP3

Enjoy semi safe emailing (Shame on you MS x3)

Oh I forgot - First attempt to send an email will fail. MS Will send you an automated email response with a validation link challenge.

Thank's a lot, Brian, it works fine.

I can patch the Desktop.pm0 so pmail starts with desiered folder, so far.

I figuered out the needed paramerters and places/length for the fillename in Desktop.pm0, 

but does anyone knows the whole correctly parameters / struktur of the file desktop.pm0?

I have found the STARTTLS and used 587 as send port.

Looks like I am Ok now.

Thanks all

[quote user="FJR"][quote]If IE uses hardware acceleration IERenderer does as well, otherwise no. If you see this issue I might have some suggestions about special tests, so please notify me in such a case if you can live with it long enough without restarting this instance of Pegasus Mail ...[/quote]OK ... in iternet options software acceleration is NOT enabled, so IE uses hardware acceleration on my PC. Send me a mail with tests to do.[/quote]

Since I'm using a notebook where I cannot disable software rendering it might be an idea for you to try without hardware accelaration? And with regard to tests: I would like you to check whether any (or multiple) IERenderer window(s) exist(s) despite of not displaying anything. You'd need a tool like for doing so (via its Tree page).

I was using Spamhalter but did not like it.  I have cleared Spamhalter of all filters.  I am just using the filter function on each message.  I have had to put the same rule into the filter on multiple occasions.  For example, a local restaurant has me on their mailing list.  I have placed their email address as a delete message.  I have had to enter the same email address about 5 times this month. 

I will try your idea about color coding action.

Thanks, Bobbie
