Thank you. I had already been to tools and unchecked the box but I did not know about the use of control. I have found through experimentation that clicking the  delete icon while holding down control does not work but holding control and hitting the delete key works as I desire. Wait, I'm not sure what I did wrong the first time but I happened to try control and delete icon and it worked. Oh well........

Ted,

To revert to your original question where you stated that "folder was still
there!!!", the only situation where it could 'appear' to be there is if you
had moved the .PMM or .PMM/.PMI pair out of your Home directory while Pmail
was still running: in that case it would still have appeared in Folders but,
if you had tried to open it, then Pmail would have put up a message about
the folder being damaged, followed, in a few seconds, by crashing.
I'm convinced that you mistakenly copied it from the Home mailbox instead of
moving it.

If you had moved it out of the Home mailbox while Pmail was closed then on
reopening Pmail it would no longer be listed in the Folders screen: it would
still be listed in HIERARCH.PM but with its title replaced by
Name_Unavailable.
If you then close Pmail, move the file(s) back into the Home directory and
reopen Pmail then it will re-appear in Folders in its former position in the
hierarchy with its former title.

Back to archiving methods: I like to think that the method I proposed, and
use, has considerable advantages over yours apart from being a bit tedious 
to set up.

1. Provided that you keep the archive mailbox disconnected, except when you
need to access it, then the archived files are effectively, as you put it,
"outside of Pegasus".

2. Folders in the archive are readily identifiable by their titles instead of
unintelligible file names and can be opened in Pmail enabling messages to be 
read, copied (including back to the Home mailbox), replied to etc.

3. The archive can be searched for text: that is not normally possible in
your method if any messages contain Mime(Base 64 encoded) sections.
Warning: I don't know if it's a quirk of my setup but Pmail's "Search all
folders in the selected mailbox" doesn't work for added mailboxes: even if
an added mailbox is highlighted before invoking search it still searches in
the Home mailbox! "Select one or more specific folders to search" does work.

4. Jerry's concern, which I think is about Unique IDs, is not applicable
because folders and trays are not moved between mailboxes.

OK I found the answer under the file Menu Review Qued Mail. I don't  know how I missed that when I actually had the issue to deal with. TY Jerry.

To tell if you are running Bearhtml to render html messages, open a message and key in Shift + F1.  Bearhtml help will be displayed, and the version will show on the Pegasus Mail status line for a short period. keying in Shift F1 again will return to message display. Bearhtml Help lists a number of ways to increase font size, but only if the font size is not coded in the html.

Hello !

I used Martin's solution and it is perfectly working. I combined both adding a new header and coloring the emails.

Thank you very much.

Whiskyfizz.

I am not aware of any such capability in pmail.  There is a "Remail" feature within Mercury, see below:

idw...Excellent that did the trick! Everything works fine now thank you

so very much I really appreciate.When I went to the location you

suggested BOTH boxes were checked so I unchecked the one you said not to

use (URLProxy) and all is well now. As they say you learn something

every day but I'm still wondering why both were checked as I never entered this page until you mentioned. All is well thanks again! All you Beta members are great!!

Thanks

I would like to know what you mean by Auto Filtering option

See Help, Autofiltering folders section. Also see toolbar Folders menu, Manage autofilter folders.  You may also access via right click on folder name in Folder manager window.

Make sure the rules use MOVE not COPY to the required folder, for the action when your condition is met.

Secondly, for an email containing postings on this subject, click the Email subscription button at the top of the posting.

If you want more help, you should explain what your filtering rule looks like so that experts can guide you to success.

My Pegasus Mail is picked up from Yahoo.com

Recently have received duplicates of messages, that are lengthy with attachments.

Checking Yahoo files indicate only one has been relayed.

Checking message headers:  The duplicate message begins with: X-x:TimeOut, at least once, usually multiple times.

At the bottom of the message header is a line: X-PMFLAGS: followed by common digits, followed by different data (examples follow)

X-PMFLAGS: 570949760 0 1 PJ6TP3D3.CNM

X-PMFLAGS: 570949760 0 1  P6WXPU2V.CNM

What can be done to prevent these duplicates ?

Server host name:  smtp.gmail.com

Server TCP/IP port:  587

SSL/TLS security:  via STARTTLS

Enable certificate tracking.  Leave certificate fingerprint field blank.   Pegasus will fill it in.  See help file for more info on this.

SMTP Authentication:  use second option and enter your gmail address and password as the credentials

If I were you I would leave Pegasus as is and backup the mailbox folder(s) to the external drive but if you really want to move them you can.

You can findwhere the Pegasus mailbox folders are located by going to Help > About Pegasus Mail then clicking the Info button.  The entries for the Home and New Mailbox Location should be the same and show the path to the mailbox folder of the current Pegasus Mail user.  You can change this location using the utility called PCONFIG.EXE which is located in the Windows folder where Pegasus Mail is installed.  Once in PCONFIG select the Standalone Configuration where you will find the setting to specify the path the home and new mailbox.  With Pegasus closed you would copy your Windows mailbox folders to the new location then run PCONFIG to change the paths.  Confirm via the Info button that Pegasus is now using the new mailbox location.  Once all is working you can delete the original mailbox folders.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  The PCONFIG utility is a DOS application so will not run under Windows 7.  If you have Windows 7 you will either need to use a DOS emulator (like DOSBOX) or run PCONFIG on a WinXP machine and then copy the resulting file to your Pegasus install.

[quote user="irelam"]Go into Windows Task Manager (Key Alt+Ctrl+Del), and End Process: Winpm-32.exe[/quote]

And if trying to uninstall one of the latest versions of Pegasus Mail first uninstall IERenderer ("Pegasus Mail HTML Renderer") as its installer won't work properly anymore after uninstalling Pegasus Mail first.

You can set a default on a folder for recovery when xxx space of deleted messages is reached.

[/quote]

I am aware you can do that. By default it's set to around 20k.

However, for the folder concerned, I don't generally move or delete mail.

I'm just wondering why I was getting an insufficient disk space message while this folder was at around 130 MB with GB's of disk space free.

I'm running Pegasus 4.7. 

Cheers.

You can run one copy with multiple mailboxes/users or multiple copies as you have now.

The command line is relevant in both cases.

If right click on the original Pmail desktop icon and select properties you will see the "Target" line containing the command line that starts the program.

This will be something like C:\Pmail\Programs\winpm-32.exe.

There is a command line switch that enables two copies of Pmail or two mailboxes/users to run concurrently.  To add this switch amend the command line to:

C:\Pmail\Programs\winpm-32.exe -MS

If you had only one Pmail installation and two mailboxes/users the command line in each desktop icon would then need an additional switch.

If you had the default mailbox, Admin and added an additional mailbox/user, say Chess, the two command lines would look like the following: 

C:\Pmail\Programs\winpm-32.exe -MS -I Admin and

C:\Pmail\Programs\winpm-32.exe -MS I Chess
