The problem is not clicking on a link in a message and opening it in a browser, but going from message to message in Pmail.
During 8-9 seconds nothing is happening when I select a next message from the tree. I see the cache-hits counting messages then in the status bar and finally this next message start to be rendering in the body window. Sometimes this counting goes to 200, but mostly 20-30.
As stated, I have disabled cache also, but I don't seem to see a difference.
So the sequence f.e. I do is:
After reading a mail, I move it to a folder
The next message is selected automatically
There is a delay of 8-9 seconds during which I see the cache count going on in the status bar.
Then only the message appears in the body window.
I don't seem to have had this in a previous release of Pmail, but I don't remember when it started.
I think earlier releases didn't have this cache system.
I found Pegasus and installed it on 7/14 and now as I approach my bedtime Sunday in the wee hours of 7/16 I have figured out how to do in Pegasus everything I wanted it for. I pay for a CRM/Email/project manager/calendar/billing system in one for my professional life and in some ways such as the ability to use different identities our free Pegasus does things my paid program won't.
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.
