[quote user="bhenry004"]Thanks for the help. I have 3 identities set up so I sync'ed the fonts on all. Seems to be working ok except the body of some messages appear in different fonts. Is that a result of the font being set in the original message?[/quote]

Yes and they are HTML messages where font and size are set within the source code for some messages. You can increase the display size of the message from within the rendering engine whether you are using IErenderer or BearHTML. Try ctrl+pg up to increase the size for the message display while it is in the foreground and active. Regular messages and those HTML messages with no hard coded size show at default size and with the default Reader font. IErenderer can increase or decrease display for HTML messages whether or not hard coded but BearHtml can only change size if not hard coded into the source file. Which rendering engine are you using?

[quote user="Guy"]Has Microsoft indicated that they are now providing IMAP access to their Hotmail/Live/Outlook accounts?[/quote]

Just found this dated Dec 12 2012

IMAP - At this time IMAP is not supported by Outlook.com. Microsoft plans to support in the future.

in outlook.com help, IMAP search provides method but I neglected to read the small prints:

Turn on POP or IMAP Access to Connect - Applies to: Office 365 for professionals and small businesses, Office 365 for enterprises, Live@edu

They don`t say outlook.com

Thus far after a couple weeks of use there have been no error messages or other hiccups to imply anything's going wrong. How will I know, if there is?

Post a copy of the output of the Help, About, Info button display here from the machine in question now. It seems you may not actually be running that copy on that machine but instead the copy on the server machine.  What is the actual command line or target line from the icon properties used to run Pegasus Mail? The new machine may only need and icon on it with nothing actually stored/written there.

Could you send me offline a copy of the old pmserver.txt file? I don't remember the setup and steps from that file thouigh I have seen it years ago.

You had asked about and used PCONFIG so we need to know what drive and what locations are actually being set there and also in the Gateway definition created with it so we would need to see both pmail.cfg and pmgate.sys file or their display output. If nothing is being saved or written to anything other than temp space on the new machine that would explain why no error messages and why it is working for you properly on the new machine.

I replaced the mapi32.dll file in System32 with the working file from my home computer and the "Send to..." function started working, but still no luck with Dentrix.

I've found several articles talking about Microsoft breaking MAPI (or at least Simple MAPI) in Windows 7.  I need to update the Dentrix software anyway, so that's the next step.

The permanent BCC header is a problem because the header looks like "BCC: (Suppressed)
" in the received message so isn't of much use.  It doesn't exist at all in the copy to self which surprised me.

After unloading the new installation.

Thanks you, Brian, for your insight.  I'll follow your advice and see if all goes well.

That worked.  Thanks!

Trays are not files at all. They are only "virtual" entries helping you defining a structure for your folders. Your folderstructure is written to HIERARCH.PM in your mailboxdirectory. If that file is corrupted, the struture is gone.

Do you have a backup of  HIERARCH.PM? Rename the actual one and restore it. Perhaps you have to recreate trays created after that backup.

If no backup you have to identify the folders of the corrupted trays, recreate that trays and move the folders there (by drag & drop) .

Well, after a lot of tweeking I was able to import the modified tab-delimited address book into Pegasus. What a frustrating process! There must be a better way. Anyway thanks for the help. It's done and I'm happy.

As a temporary solution go to menu File/Selective Mail Downloads. The order shown is the order in which the messages are downloaded from the server. First thing, look for any messages with a large size ( eg more than 20k)  Ignore them for now and for all the messages that look ok Select from the list, then click the Retrieve and Delete button. When you have checked out the list, click the "Make it so" button to download the marked messages. If that works, the problem is with one of the remaining messages. You will need to work through these one at a time, until you find the one that stalls.

The odds are that you have a message with a large attachment and that downloading it times-out the download. If you need this large file, you will need to increase your timeout value in the POP3 definition being used.

I have a problem with that old FAQ file and much prefer the description in the current v4.63 manual.pdf file of install to Memory stick as a beginning point. Keep in mind your v4.51 may have  problems with newer OS machines that require v4.52 or later and really should only use v4.63.

To import old data and files you want only some files. Some others you definitely do not want to copy to the new USB stick install location like any old pmail.ini or any old pmail.cfg or pmgate.sys files  plus and old user stored files that might have been stored in home mail box location of old install. You want your new USB stick install to be as clean and lean as possible due to the comparative slowness of read and write of the stick as compared to speed of a PC hard drive install.

http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_pmfiles.html is a very important reference to help you determine what files are and which ones you want to copy from the old install to the new USB install to have your new mail messages, message folders and address book information on the new stick.

The use of -a and -roam switches as part of command line/icon properties used to start the USB stick install of winpm-32 plus the -I <user> are very important.  You may also wish to include -o to start in offline mode at first also. See either manual or Help and Commandline options information for more. When using stick install on local LAN you may need one set of settings but almost certainly also different set as either second Username or another Identity for the Tools, Internet options Receiving tabs and below and almost definitely a different set for use of the USB stick when out in the outside world across Internet connections other than home or work location that usually require different port numbers and different authentication entries. Remember that the host machine use of USB stick  will provide only the basic OS and temporary files place and all other must be present on the USB stick and all file saved writes will be to the stick only.

Another option is to Reply with a Template which can set the Identity.However I do not know how it will work with HTML emails.

Background:
Case 1: Open Pmail offline (List mode), File > Exit
Case 2: Open Pmail offline, Switch to Preview mode, File > Exit, Open Pmail offline, confirm Preview mode, File > Exit
Diff all Pmail Case 1 and Case 2 files, The only file changed is PMAIL.INI. The only change in the file is the "Default settings values" in the [Pegasus Mail for Windows] section and the "Time and date run ended" in the [Pegasus Mail for Windows - Run Info] section.

This leads me to believe that the relevant setting is stored in the PMAIL.INI file.

Thank you, Jerry.

Well I dunno really but resetting the options in the Reply button seems to have fixed it.

Maybe some odd Windows 8 behaviour.  Does not really  make sense but one cannot argue with success. 

Thanks, Brian. I've been looking at the Outgoing Mail options on the Tools menu & couldn't find the reply options settings you're referencing. It took me a while to realize that I had to actually reply to a message to see the Reply Options. Now things are working the way I want.

Pegasus Mail is only available via download but you may burn a copy to a CD if you wish.  Read the Terms and conditions topic in the Pegasus Mail Help system for more information.

Try to reindex via context menu (per right-click on the folder).
