The \MAIL folder is the root mailbox folder. Inside of the \MAIL folder is where the user mailbox folders reside. In a default install you would see an \ADMIN folder inside the \MAIL folder. This would be the default ADMIN user mailbox folder. It is into a user mailbox folder that your .pmm, .pmi, and .cnm files would go.
OK I got it now. I had to go to the windows menu and choose cascade and once I did that the addresbook menu was visible. Then even when I went back to the tiled view the little tabs at the bottom worked as they were supposed to. And I now know how to do everything with the address book. Thank you so much to all who have helped.
Thank you to all the folks who helped me with this. I like Pegasus as a program but the online community is its best feature. I am going to mark this problem resolved. I just sent a message flawlessly.
[quote user="Sylvain"]So in the EMAIL I see a clikable link "Cliquez ici pour ouvrir le BC 1" to open the file attach to the EMAIL, but Pegasus don't want to open it, it only display "Embedded message data". It works on all other EMAIL client (except those on MAC because the attached file is a PDF). Is there any option in Pegasus for this ?[/quote]
No. Would it be possible to forward such a message to <beta-reports [at] pmail.gen.nz> for checking the issue? Please select Start a new message with the messages attached and Forward any attachments the message has as well to ensure proper testing by us..
[quote user="Usagi"]I'm using 4.63 on Windows 7. I have one copy of Pegasus and have it set up with two users. One user starts up and Pegasus operates just fine. However when I start it for the other user I initially get "this mailbox is locked by another process" and there are the buttons to continue or exit. If I continue, Pegasus appears to start but then locks up. Most of the screen is washed out but the new mail folder is visible and at the bottom left it says "applying mail filtering rules" Pegasus stops there.
I have a lot of email saved and really don't want to lose it all. Help please?[/quote]
The "this mailbox is locked..." message indicates that Pegasus Mail thinks the mailbox is in use. This warning exists because data corruption will occur if the same mailbox (Pegasus Mail user) is accessed simultaneously by two instances of Pegasus Mail. You say you have Pegasus set up with two users but it is unclear whether that means two Pegasus Mail users (two mailboxes) or two PC users sharing the same Pegasus Mail mailbox. Let us know which and we can better advise on how to address the problem.
We have been using Pegasus on our network for some time now, using W2K, XP and W7 machines. There was one possible problem with AVG attacking the pmail.ini file, but that was never really confirmed.
Thank you so very much for your quick and helpful response. You solved my problem. I had tried to associate with WordPad and the association wasn't allowed. But it has allowed me to associate with Notepad with ease.
Sorry, the link problem was my fault. I didn't have it set to IE location. I migrated files to a new computer and I had used firefox in the past. The browser location was set to that, which now doesn't exist[:D]
From my Backup - I overwrote all Mailbox files OTHER than my Distribution lists and Address Books, and everything is back to 'reasonable' shape. Flat folders and no hierarchy, but that is fixable.
Not sure which files were the issue. It's like losing a limb when email goes down - lol
This is not strictly on topic, but I found the best way to deal with email access from various devices was simply to create a gmail account for access by phones, tablets, etc. and keep Pegasus exactly as it is without the impact of filters. Once in a blue moon I delete everything in the (duplicate) gmail account.
My initial use of delete by age came unstuck when the inbox on the server reached capacity, this never happens now, gmail retrieves and leaves the email, pegasus retrieves and deletes the email.
I can't thank you enough for the link to http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_pmfiles.html.
I suffered some kind of accident to my computer and have been troubleshooting it trying to recover. The only thing I've not been able to recover from has been that two of my three stand-alone Pegasus programs have somehow gotten the folders fractured and mixed together and I've been trying to somehow weed them out and bring the most current program, 4.62, to some workable condition, but I've not been able to figure out which program files define the folders. I've used Pegasus since 1999 so my entire personal and business life is pretty well filed away in the folders and I sure don't want to lose them or access to them. It's been such a complex mess that I didn't even know how to ask questions so I could get help and have been trying to figure out what program files may carry the instructions for the program so I can find them and try to either fix them or replace them. Now that I have this list, I may stand some chance of fixing things.
