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.

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.

 This is a known problem with high res monitors.  You will also find the font in configuration screens to be very small.  These fonts are all hard coded and only a change in screen resolution can make the font more readable.  You may wish to search the forum and read some of the other threads where this issue is discussed.

PFluet,

Excuse me for not responding to your exact message when posting.  I was so relieved to have it working again, just neglected to address your message.

To your questions; Yes, it was a new install to the SD chip and it had worked for several months before this problem arose; do not need to do the reinstall to a different location to confirm it does work; Yes, I agree to not over write the original files and I understand what you are getting at; have not moved my chip to any other system yet, still working on learning some more of the ins and outs of Pegasus Mail.

Yes also to your example of your system compared to mine are the same.  Nice to see you are doing yours correctly, just like mine (BAG!).  I knew my install was correct as it had worked just fine for several months before going on that trip.  Had done some explaining to friends here before leaving and evidently when reinserting the Micro Mini SD Chip a miss handling of the insertion caused the switch to be moved and never thought of that until returning home as described in an earlier post.  EGG-ON-FACE!!  The best part is, "it is working correctly again."

Thank you to all that placed a post on this issue

Thanks. I am just so grateful to get it fixed. The printer driver on my system has never been reliable in the first place. Documents just printed when they felt like it and a lot of rebooting and swearing is always involved.  TIme to get rid of the $25 HP printer that came free with a lap top!

Test with AVG disabled.  If it works then look at the AVG E-Mail Scanner.  It has a Mail Proxy that could be the problem.  Check out this thread:

 If it doesn't work then there is something wrong with the credentials.  Turn on internet session logging to see of the log identifies the problem.  Read the help file about internet session logging.

Hi,

 We are merging with another company and we will want any emails that are unresolved to forward over to our other system, this way they can share the same namespace.

 I has hoping that if the email wasn't found in the system that it would then just go straight over to the other companies server which is on exchange. I have already acheived it the other way round.

If I open the Charter IMAP Inbox, then attempt to perform a login at the same mailbox via POP3, I can receive the error "-ERR [IN-USE] account is locked by another session or for maintenance, try again". Note the error does not occur when the IMAP client is accessing a different folder; as POP3 is only aware of the Inbox.

The "require sign-in" has to do with SMTP; if "no" you will need to enter a username and password in order to send email.

My goodness. Such an easy fix for a problem I've been having for a very long time. Several factors have been moving me away from Pegasus and this was one of them. Unfortunately, changing the Windows Default Printer may not be an easy thing to get used to. I'll try it for awhile and see if it works out.

I don't remember when I first experienced the "extremely slow Pegasus" problem but it has been at least two years, and very frustrating to say the least.

Thanks,

The file location of your current installation will help determine whether you should do a clean install then transfer file or not. If Pegasus Mail is installed in C:\PMAIL with the mailboxes in C:\PMAIL\MAIL then you can copy the entire contents of C:\PMAIL to the new machine then do an install (upgrade) of Pegasus Mail v4.63 to that same location.  Running the Pegasus Mail installer is required so that the new machine will know Pegasus Mail is there and can be configured as the default mail program.  I have had success doing this in reverse as well.  I do a new install but don't do any configuring then I copy the entire C:\PMAIL folder from the old install overtop of the new install overwriting all files.  Worst case, you delete C:\PMAIL from the new machine and start again.  The important thing here is that the paths MUST be identical on both machines and must not be anywhere inside of the \PROGRAM FILES folder.  Make sure to keep your old install intact until all is well on the new machine.

If you are not sure where Pegasus Mail is installed go to  Help | About Pegasus Mail and click the Info button.  These three lines will tell you where Pegasus Mail is installed and where the mailboxes are.

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

If Pegasus Mail is not currently installed in C:\PMAIL then do a new install on the new machine, configure it including creating users (same as in your old install), then copy message files, folder files, address book files, etc. from the mailbox folders on the old machine to the same mailbox folders on the new machine.  Start with all .cnm files (new mail messages), all .pmm and .pmi files (folders and associated indexes) and all .pmr and .pm! files (addressbooks and indexes).  There is a guide to Pegasus Mail filenames and extensions that can

be valuable in determining any other files to copy.  Find it at:

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

There should not be a need to overwrite any files during the copy process as the files in the new mailbox folders are mostly configuration files which you don't want to disturb.

Tip:  Use the configuration screens from the old Pegasus Mail for reference as you configure the new install or use a text editor to open and print the pmail.ini file and any .pnd files to use for reference.  These files are located in the Home or New mailbox folders.

At the moment this isn't working for me, but hopefully it's a matter of slogging away.
