I have exactly the same problem on a Windows7 64 bit machine (first line missing from copy to self). The mail doesn't actually have to be sent, just queued to be sent.

I don't have AVG, I use Microsoft Security Essentials. I disabled real-time protection and it didn't help. Any suggestions appreciated. 

(Later) I just looked through my copy to self folder, and the problem began in September 2011, about the time Pegasus 4.62 came out . I'm on 4.63 now.

I suggest you look into the possible use of Unipad software (

 )  which allows multiple charsets because it uses Unicode to prepare text. Maybe the resulting mixed text file can be inserted into a Pegasus Mail message body, or at least it could be attached.  The receiving user would then need to be using one of the Microsoft Unicode fonts such as Arial Unicode MS, as Pegasus Mail does not yet support full Unicode but only Utf-8 the Asian text might be a problem. 

As for the subject line and the sender's name, this is covered in the Mime RFCs and allows for 8 bit content. See RFC 2047 section "Encoded-word"  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047  See pages 6-12  Not an easy read, but it works :-(

Hello anbecker,

[quote user="anbecker"]Indeed, this is somehow confusing since it interferes with the hot keys. I really liked the old icon, why this change?[/quote]

the hot key informations seem to be only exist in German (or maybe non-English?) versions (checked with PM 4.51 and 4.63). The English versions were both free of this addition.

Ok, the attachment information for outgoing mails is more consolidated this new way. But to be consistent it would be necessary to inform about incoming attachments the same way. (Maybe scheduled for PM 5.x?)

Best regards
Wolfgang

Thanks for considering my problem. The cause of the problem turned out to be rather prosaic. The Options window for the problematic user had a reduced size. As such it did not show the controls at the bottom, in particular the OK button. And without OK no change... For the other user Options did show the controls, as I finally noticed.

Wow! I just fixed it! 

Looked at my previous posting here, and it was so similar that I checked the anti-virus program, AVAST and turned off the check outgoing mail. For some reason it was blocking it.

thanks for keeping me calm!

Shame you can't help me with my personal memory issues too [:)] lol 

thanks, Martin, that was the perfect solution!

Two settings to check. In Tools, Internet options, Receiving tab is one and the other is in Tools Options, General, Basic check the block to open new mail on startup. Also check the item in Internet Options, receiving tab, and set a Polling time value (180 would yield check every 3 minutes) and then check the block Idle if only when no activity in progress (no keyboard activity) or leave unchecked if strictly timed check if even while using Reader or Editor.

Are there any other files in Pmail that I should worry about send over to Win 7?

[/quote]

Not in the mailbox. But if you wish you can examine the mailbox contents on a file by file basis using Han van den Bogaerde's guide .

If program and Mailboxes are there, leave it on drive D: and if Win7 is installed, call setpmdefaults.exe (if not there, you have an old version of Pegasus and you have to do it in another way - in case ask back) in programdirectory of pegasus. Than create a desktopicon for winpm-32.exe and call Pegasus by doubleclicking it.

I agree, especially if it is setting between Pegasus Mail and the POP3 host.

Yes, no and maybe.  In this case if you are losing mail that has been delivered to you POP3 mailbox then something is causing this message to not be received in the mailbox.  FWIW, what spam filter are you using?


> ISP now suggesting that my email client is misreading the headers from the messages.

That one though I doubt, however the spam program you are using may be doing that.

> Can anyone help.  Thanks

Turn on session logging in Tools | Internet options | General and then check the session log.  I would make sure that there is a message from the problem address  before I started the download.  One way to do that is to use File | Selective mail download to see what is on the POP3 host.

[quote user="DetRedWingsFan"]I was looking for a replacement for Outlook Express that would replace LiveMail under Win7 and hoped Pegasus would be it. But overall Pegasus is not a very good email program. You can only have one main email source as From on your outgoing emails. With OE, I can select which email address (I have 12) I want for the From. And with Pegasus, I cannot select which email address to receive mail as I can with OE. There is no easy way to transfer settings from LiveMail or OE to Pegasus (such as SSL, etc)[/quote]

This is a good example of how not to post to a forum. Instead of simply asking a question, the poster assumes he already knows the answer - thereby alienating the very people who might be able (and willing) to help.   ...Steve

[quote user="DetRedWingsFan"]Thanks but that won't tell me what the equiv is for LiveMail and OE settings.  [/quote]

I just thought that it might have taken at most 15 minutes to figure out the exact match by trial and error since there aren't myriads of options, are there?

[quote user="tpecotic"]thank you for your response. It has been a great help but the process is not transparent enough.

1. While in the default Identity go to Tools | Internet Options | Receiving.

You will see a check box that enables all Identities to be checked when polling for new mail.

Currently this is probably checked.  You can uncheck it and only the enabled servers in the default identity will be polled.

2. Go to Tools | Identities and delete any Identities you no longer require.

3. If the problem persists become each Identity in turn and while in each, go to Tools | Internet Options | Receiving, to locate the old definition. If you need that Identity replace the definition with something current so it continues to function.

Thanks, Tom

I just can add to Olaf's contribution that you can avoid the users to have to enter their username when they run Pegasus Mail, their PM username and Windows username have to be the same. Just add to each user a user's ev called pmuser and set it to %username% (this can be easily done via gpo).

With this and the right ntfs rights the user will only see their own mailbox and will be able to send mails to others.

2.  Run PCONFIG.exe from the WinPMail program directory and change the HOME and
    NEW mail directory specification to the \\server\vol\pmail\mail\~8
    format.  

[/quote]

In that case he has to use usernames no longer than 8 characters - hasn't he?

Wouldn't it be better to advice \\server\vol\pmail\mail\~N and advice usernames without blanks and special characters?

It seems to me, that is the trap for most new users of Pegasus.

Thanks for pswd tip, I explored and found it under "edit" button.

I experimented and found that if I send myself a plain text email, it worked ok.   That told me it had something to do with html, a real Sherlock Holmes I am.

I started w/Minidump and also Rendererer.   The solution?

I disabled the Pegasus html Renderer.   I thought that enables html viewing, but counterintuitively... everything looks great for time being.  Can see pictures and everything in the nice looking version new 4.62

 I guess in theory I should add back the CNM files one at a time per instruction, but as we say here in U.S., "I don't think so", not when I have hundreds of those emails! [:)]

Michael in der Wiesche, thanks so much for all your patience and help.  Ein schönes Sylvesterfeier und ein guten Rutsch im Neuen Jahr.

[quote user="A01"]Under XP and previous incantations of Microsoft™ Windows© this behavior (i.e., slightly slower message moving) was a highly correlated precursor with respect to the infamous "spin-away" problem where messages were cleaned up and moved, often taking hours at a time; once I think it was the whole day.

I hope I didn't come across as complaining about Pegasus.  My concern was that my machine in the shop would become unusable.[/quote]

To me it still comes across as complaining (not necessarily about Pegasus Mail, though, which I didn't imply the first time either): If you're not looking for a solution what else could it be (especially since you still don't tell us whether you checked the issues mentioned in previous posts related to Peter's observations)? Talking to an "Anonymous Windows Users" circle [*-)]?

YES! That did it. Thank you so much.

 I am migrating from an old XP Pro computer to a new, Win 7 Pro 64-bit, one; and, have had to learn a lot about preserving configurations.

[quote user="JonR"]Thanks Caisson - tried that but it never worked so I guess it should either be done in another way under Win 7 or will not work under that environment. Hence my posting in this forum hoping that there might be other devoted Pegasus users also using this program![/quote]

Just another suggestion: have a look at the FAQ at processtext. Did you download a newer version? Was it the demoversion? Than that's of interest for you:

Don't use the public link (it's always a demo version), use only the link for registered users (see a registration email)
