Thanks Jerry. As soon as I read your reply, I had a dim memory of asking the same question some years ago. I have added the information to my "doing back ups and restoring" document. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Thanks for feedback.  Bearhtml does not support IFrame, but is it fetching remote graphic files, and showing a counter of downloads cmpleted?

[quote user="arman29"]Hello, I just finish the download of pegasus v.4.52 at computer yet when I'm about to find it on my files I can't open it. I'm wondering is it because my computer is 64 bits?
[/quote]

The latest version is 4.63 - available from this site.

It does run on 64-bit versions of Windows, but search this forum for hints on 64-bit use.

Pls see my post at end of Index Corruption Thread

Any Perl Help appreciated

TY ALL - I think I will start with the blacklist whitelist and then if I turn out to have a problem with whitelisted people sending me very much unwanted mail I can address that issue with each one individually. For example a very nice lady on my contact list got her email hacked and I got an unwanted MLM solicitation. I may also have to go with something like the suggested bayesian filter. I thought PM had one of those and I thought I was using it.

 Anyway PM is a nice program even if it is very complicated but there is no question in my mind that this board is PM's best feature. This board is as helpful with PM as my tax pro bulletin boards are to me in business. 

OK. From what I've been reading, and from your answer, port 587 is "more likely" to work, just because some ISPs might block port 25. For now, I'll keep port 25, since it is working correctly in my case.

This thread is certainly useful for situations like mine (Pegasus and hotmail). I hope this thread is useful for other users too.

Thank you very much for your answers.

You might want to review Help, Message formatting and Margin section again. Set window with does affect and limit available line length as does set size of Editor font also.

Message width  This setting controls how wide the column of text you type in your message should be. The default setting is 145mm or 5.71 inches, based on a typeface of Arial 10 point. This will result in a column of text approximately 76 characters wide, which should be readable by anyone. If you increase the size of your typeface, you may also need to increase the message width, since otherwise your lines will become shorter and shorter. Similarly, if you use a smaller typeface, you should make the message width narrower to keep the lines within a reasonable length. Experiment with these settings until you find a message width that youfind comfortable and which produces messages your correspondents have no trouble reading. As a general rule of thumb, you should choose settings that result in the lines in your message being between 70 and 80 characters long.

Also refer to the section earlier about side effects of disabling  all text formatting which imposes other restrictions when used.

Why not have a customizable tool bar for the Preview?  Plus the Icon bar for Pegasus Mail? Those Icons you use to ask for donations or other special needs could be made un-touchable and always be at one end or the other or seperate them for both ends.

 Have also discovered the 'Arial Black' font is selectable for all three panes of PMail and sizable to make them easier to see and use, readable.

Thank you, Guy, was not aware as to what that was about, my guess was incorrect, or maybe 'hope?'

Yes, I do use the three panel Preview.  Will check out what you suggest.  Have also noted when opening the Tools/Options for reviewing the settings and various other features, there are not any of those three little boxes for expanding, iconizing, nor closing.  Clicking on that window or dragging and dropping it still will not produce those controls, even double clicking not work.

WOW!  What reading and understanding will do for you if it just would happen.  I have been looking in the PMail Preferences and settings for that Window you referenced, MenuBar/Window is where it is, just never looked up above the Icon Bar. DUA! Dummy!  That is a fantastic feature, READ the screen, not just what you want.  DA!! BAG! 

One last parting question, why when the Pegasus Icon is PINNED to the task bar the ICON for the open program is separate (?)  instead of combining the PINNED and the open Program? 

Greetings again,

Select "Tools/Options/Incoming Messages/Message Reader/Help there is a selection for Reading Mail with 'See also' where there are three selctions, second one is, "Message Reader Tutorial" which brings up a screen as follows:

"Introduction to the Pegasus Mail Message Reader

This tutorial describes the basic functionality of the Pegasus Mail message reader.
Click on each of the numbers for a description of that item - we recommend that
you click on the numbers in order the first time you use this tutorial.



You can click the tabs in the graphic above to switch the focus of this tutorial
to the description of that page.

Remember, you can always get help in Pegasus Mail by pressing the F1 key".
 

On the third line in the above quotation from the HELP file, "Click on each of the numbers for a description . . " there are not any numbers to click.  What you see is all that shows within that part of the HELP file reference to a tutorial that cannot be accessed.  Pressing F1 just takes you to the next selection in the left panel of the open HELP file which is Message Reader Options.

 Or again am I missing some part of the instructions?

bfluet:

Excuse me for not getting back to this any sooner.  Have been working on getting my system back in normal operation.  Had lost the function of the laptop keyboard plus a wireless Microsoft Keyboard and mouse.  Took several days because the only way to enter any verbiage to request assistance or any other operation on the laptop.  One character at a time by clickiing the mouse, marble mouse wired, not an option you would like to be tied to especially on a forum.  That has been cleared, no thanks to Microsoft's Tech Support by telly nor even the web.  Both advised me to purchase a newer keyboard.  Did not do that, I fixed it myself.

That 'tattle-tale' window just was taking a little more time than I thought it should, I guess.  There have been some occasions where it just would not go away so clicked on it to close.  Plus friends and family have had other problems with their computers that required some attention.  I am a troubleshooter', 'analyst', repairer of all sorts of problems plus an experimenter thrown in as an after thought.

Thank you for shedding some lite on that subject

finally figured out the problem.  My isp changed the smtp.emailname.net to mail.emailname.net.  It would have been nice if they had alerted me to the change.  It is now fixed.

Thanks for your response.

[quote user="NTxLS"] Thank  you for the assistance, I had that box checked, "Add this variant of the default signature upon message creation" and discovered it was not saved.[/quote]

If you use different Identities, the setting can be different for each one.  So you will have to check the box in all Identities.

Look at a utility called PM2MSM32 by Martin Ireland.  You will need to download the .zip file then read the enclosed .txt file for details.  Find it at http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/.

Thanks for your information; I no longer remember exactly what happened and do not know which messages I missed.

But thanks!

Thank you for this information.  I have not been able to make any copies as yet, that will be my next project for today.  There are some e-mail there that is important to me only, my Wife passed on Mother's Day this year. Just is a little heck-tech here along with changing back to Pegasus Mail after 2.5 years on a client that just was not up to the standards that are met by PMail.  At 72 and still functioning as a user as well as a problem solver for another on computers and some other things that I have developed skills to troubleshoot and make corrections to restore functionality.  Just a tinkerer along with being a very curious animal, want to learn why not just repair or restore.  When it comes to programming that is necessary to remain in the hands of a programmer.  Not something I want to get into.

Again a very large Thank you and have a better day now and in the days to come . .

 P.S. Do not find the 'Enable E-Mail Tracking' in profile.

Glad it's working.

I'm riding my Kawasaki motorcycle today and dropped my keys which settled on top of the cylinder heads under the fuel tank .  Talk about intractable... <G> 

[quote user="deadstick"]There is a "Default timeout for

network connections" on the main Internet options screen and there is a

timeout setting for each host (SMTP & POP3).  The timeout setting in the host configuration takes precedence when set to anything other than zero.  Some folks have had to set a timeout

value as high as 300 while others have no problems with the default of

30.  Setting the timeout value higher than you need can cause problems so a little trial and error may be needed.[/quote]

I am running into a problem in which the POP3 host sometimes doesn't respond, resulting in delay when waiting for timeouts.  Then I can try again.   A previous timeout is not an indication that the server is unavailable, so short timeout are advantageous because a subsequent attempt will usually work.   A 10 sec. timeout works as well as a 45 sec. timout -- it either "takes" or doesn't "take".   So a short timeout is very advantageous.

The problem is with large files.  If the timeout is too short, an otherwise successful POP call fails.  Specifically, the large email displays a % of download countdown and eventually times out before completion.

I don't mind waiting for the fat email to download (unless it's a spam), but I don't know how to shorten the initial POP3 timeout without causing a large email to also timeout.  (I know about the file size limit option, but I actually *do* want to download these up to the ISP's limit.)

How can I adjust the initial POP3 call timeout but still allow downloads to complete?

What you saw was Pegasus Mail attempting to recover deleted space in that folder.  Apparently something went wrong during the process.  You should check the folder consistency and perhaps reindex it.   

I recommend reading the help file on this topic.  Find it by going the Help > Help index then under the Index tab locate the topic called "Reindex folder"
