Thank you for your reply. Yup, it was a local setting after all. It's all good now. Thanks!

This problem with Outlook and winmail.dat usually occurs when Exchange is not configured correctly.

In Pegasus Mail use Tools > Options > Messages and replies and make sure that MIME and Rich (formatted) text are On. On rare occassions a message will become corrupted and the recipient will see garbage, but this will happen with all email clients, not just Outlook. So long as the formatting options are set correctly, your recipients should not experience any problems.

That's a good idea. I use Postbox at home and that polls several POP3 and IMAP accounts and it has an 'All mail' node. It is useful to be able to list all the messages so that I can see at a glance what has arrived instead of selecting each mail account individually. Also, it is much faster to find a message when you know From, subject or Date. However, searching in Postbox is quite different as the results are nearly instantaneous.

[quote user="idw"]The uninstaller tests for write access to WINPM-32.EXE since this is the only way to test for running network installations. If write access is denied for whatever other reasons it fails.[/quote]

WINPM-32.EXE doesn't exist on my system. Likely because I've already uninstalled Pegasus Mail, however the renderer was not removed automatically at that time.

The behaviour is somewhat counter intuitive. I installed only one product, but for a successful uninstall I have to uninstall two products, and in a specific sequence for the uninstall to work.

Reinstalled Pegasus Mail, uninstalled the renderer, then uninstalled Pegasus Mail with success.

Thanks for the tip!

I'm glad the goal is for the print preview to return. 

Hmmm, print without print preview or print preview without print, what a conundrum.  I think you made the right decision.

Many thanks for that Jerry - it worked a treat.  I had no idea you could repair files if Pegasus wouldn't run, so at least I've learnt something today.

(and yes - it was a user-created file)

Hi, wbrook,

I'm having what seems to be an identical problem.  I'm running the latest Pegasus (having been an enthusiastic user and advocate for about 10 years!).  I copied my Admin folder from a desktop running XP and Pegasus 4.63, and substituted it for the same folder on a new Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 Home and the samenewly-installed version of pmail.  I receive mail via a Verizon server and have no download problems at all.  But at this point, no messages go out.  They remain queued despite several attempts to reestablish connections to outgoing mail server.  Nothing.  Nada.  The error message is similar to yours

[*] Connection established to 206.46.232.12
>> 0089 421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 206.46.232.12 (206.46.232.12:25), connect error 10060
<< 0022 EHLO [192.168.1.102]
7: Socket read error 2745.

I'd appreciate knowing what you did to cure your problem, do a workaround, or other fix.  Or, if you weren't able to fix the beast, what email client have you adopted instead of Pegasus???  I really like this application, and have LOTS of distribution lists, folders and more in this application and enjoy its power and flexibility.  I'd like to stay with it.  But, and it's a large "but," I have to be able to send mail easily and quickly without logging into my ISP just to send a message!!!

 Thanks and hope to hear from you or others...    David

Hi Steffan

Got the messages and will check them out shortly

Martin 

hello,

I am sorry that I can't provide a solution, but I am interested in this problem.

Did you eventually sort it out in the meantime?

I modified the script ... but it ends up leaving the archive attribute set to off for all .pmm files.  I don't see this as a problem but welcome feedback or any other suggestions for a workaround.

Actually this would be a problem for me, I use the archive bit in incremental backups.
One solution is to store and reapply the the "lack of archive bit" state.

WINRULES.pmc contains rules to be applied when the NewMail folder is opened.

WINRULEa.pmc contains rules to be applied when the NewMail folder is closed.

That's exactly what I needed : thanks!

Hello Gary, [;)]

Glad to hear that there was no need to "battle" with admin types :-)

Hello Roman,

Go to Tools - Options... (Alt+F10)
Select under 'Outgoing mail' - 'Signatures', and select box 'Add this variant of the default signature upon message creation'.

There is a resource that you may find valuable.  It's a guide to Pegasus Mail filenames and extensions.  It's at .

[quote user="bfluet"]I don't know anything about SEZNAM but it know when retrieving message from GMAIL via POP3 you can configure GMAIL to archive retrieved messages.  If SEZNAM isn't configured as such or that isn't an option then I believe the only way to do it is to bounce (forward without editing) all of the messages to your SEZNAM account.[/quote]

Sounds to me that IMAP would be an option here, if possible ...

I use Opera, but I do not the M2 Opera mail client; I do not even have it active nor its menus.

You will need to copy the individual messages from a Pegasus folder to the Unix mailbox folder.

I suggest trying just a few messages at first to ensure that Opera does import the messages correctly. Once correct operation is confirmed, do one Pegasus folder at a time; Select All messages and use the Copy* button.
You may use more that one Unix mailbox folder, although multiple .MBX and .PMG file pairs may be confusing to import to Opera.

*Use Copy to ensure that no data is lost until the import confirmed successful.

thats probably it, just added avast...will check if i have it marked

[quote user="bfluet"]The hierarch.om file contains entries for each folder listed in the folder window.  A directory attached as a mailbox has an entry that looks like this:

0,0,"KLY2EVRG:2CB3:FOL01D7F","71D72317:c:\\temp\\testmail","testmail"

You can see how changing the directory name or location would make the entry invalid. [/quote]

Just for the reference of anyone later who might come along reading this thread seeking information, I think that is like an entry for a folder in an external Mail Box not an entry for the external Mail Box itself. This is what a Mail Box entry looks like:

0,0,"01131047:G:\\PMBoxOldMail:NEW","01131047:G:\\PMBoxOldMail",Name_Unavailable

This is what a tray looks like.

1,2,"15921048:People","01131047:G:\\PMBoxOldMail","People"

An external Mail Box entry seems like it will stick around in the hierarch.pm file forever, even if it is obsolete. There apparently is no way to ever get rid of it or change it once it has been created. Folder entries and tray entries may be eliminated from the hierach.pm file when they are removed within Pegasus.

Hello,

I just have an outbound message to be send in the mail queue.

When I close PMail before sending I am asked how to continue:
- exit without sending
- sending, then exit
- cancel exit, return.

The dedicated button is labeled "Continue", the default choice is "Exit without sending".

Surprise:
Closing this message box by clicking the red cross button of the window doesn't mean "Cancel". It seems to have the same effect like clicking button "Continue".

Best regards
Wolfgang
