Thank you, Michael,

now we can start to move our workstations from Netware mode to single user mode ...

[quote user="FJR"]P.P.S. Could someone of the SYSOPS of this forum manipulate the scripts? My choice was german for my forum environmemt, but in case of answering the software does the same f*** that Outlook does: instead of including a simple "Re: " in front of the subject a "AW: " is included and "Re: "isn't recognized to be the same. It's disturbing everytime changing the endless "AW: Re: AW: Re: " manually? [:(] Simply eliminate the "AW" - please!!![/quote]

Is there a way to setup so that a secretary can send emails as though her boss was sending

change sent from

reply address

and even the signature at the bottom

I guess also that the boss would receive a copy of the email

[/quote]

Absolutely!  This can all be done by creating an identity and configuring it with the bosses personal name, his default reply to address, and signature(s) as needed.  Then all the secretary has to do is reply as that identity.  To automate the boss getting a copy every time the secretary sends from that identity you could set the bosses address as a Permanent BCC in that identity.

Is there an easy way to change the Personal Name for just a single email, without having to change it back afterward? Thanks!

[/quote]

 I don't know of a way to do it for a single email but if the personal name is one that you would use regularly I suggest creating an identity configured with that personal name.  You can then send messages as that identity.  I have 10 identities and eight of them are for the sole purpose of allowing me to easily control the personal name and reply to seen by the message recipient.

You would want to enable the "Add' identity' selector" (Tools|Options|Outgoing mail|Messages and replies) which makes it very easy to select the identity you wish to send the message as without actually having to become that identity.

Thanks very much Brian.  I did as you suggested and people receiving my e-mail are able to reply automatically. 

I'm not sure what went wrong, or how it got fixed, but all is good!

Hi Michael,

I have done it now. Thanks for the hint.

Addressbooks are in your mailbox folder and are made up of a pair of files, on with a .PMR

extension and one with a .PM! extension.

A couple of things to consider:

1. You could copy the entire old mailbox directory to your new machine and then use the "add mailbox to list" to add that directory as a folder in the folder list of your new Pegasus Mail.  This would allow you access to all old messages.  You would still need to copy the addressbook files into the new mailbox directory.

2. If you are more adventuresome you could incorporating your old mailbox into your new install.  To do this complete the installation of Pegasus Mail on your new PC including creating a new user.  Once that is all working you can copy all files except folstate.pm, state.pmj, hierarch.pm and pmail.ini  from the old mailbox folder to the new one.

The most likely location for mailbox directories of older installations is C:\PMAIL\MAIL.  In the working Pegasus Mail installation you can use the Info button located in Help|About Pegasus Mail and find the entry that contains the path to the home mailbox location. 

FYI, there is an excellent source for information about Pegasus Mail filenames and extensions here:

If it is critical to know exactly when the server sent out the message then about the closest possible available is to Bcc: your own internet email address so you get a copy sent out by the server as the other addressee copies are sent from server.

Thanks Michael, I will do just that - I guess system managers check the Mercury support forum more frequently than the Pegasus one. I was wearing my blinkers and thinking it was just a Pegasus issue.

<quote>Try it with the window un-maximized and check that the option to save the desktop state between sessions is selected. (Tools | Options | Basic Settings).</quote>

I've checked the dekstop-state.

Having this window floating has worked - but only in the 'New Mail'-Folder [:(]

But what I've found (and this is IMHO strange and unusual behavior):

Pegasus seems to store the defaults, but not applying them!

When opening another folder there are the same (old small) sizes, but then 'Folder/…/Apply default…' will give my sizes [:)]

I really thought 'default' means 'do it when not otherwise stated' and not 'do it when asked for' [;)]

It seems that layouts are stuck to windows and not to folders as I thought - maybe a feature to come??.

Hi Thomas Thanks for the suggestion

But  the system font is already on normal, no large or extra large is selected.

thanks

Solved it.

 By comparing the current vs a backup file tree (I use Araxis Merge, FWIW) I discovered all differences. Fortunately, the key change was not too far from the top of the list.

In the pmail.ini file, there's a line containing the Font to use for the Folder window. The backed up copy references a font not yet available on my rebuilt machine.

The new copy of pmail.ini has:

* Font name= a bunch of garbage characters

* Font size and style = -8751 (yes, a huge not-quite-random negative number)

This can be almost-fixed simply by choosing a different font with the font-picker tool in Pegasus Mail. Unfortunately the bogus style "number" can't be fixed without hand-editing pmail.ini

 I'm reporting this as a bug to the Testers list...

Thank you Did not see anything out of the ordianary.

I went in and deleted all of the filters I had set up for the folder and then tried again.  It went into my inbox.  There must have been some filter set up that was transferring them to my deleted box.  There were too many to go through all of them so I'll just start all over with the filtering rules.

I had expected  (because apparently Thunderbird and the like can) that Pegasus also would be able to import OE DBX files [:(]  Really surprised that it can't.  Thanks anyway.

[quote user="gillardreid"]I realize the duplicate was created at reinstall and restore, now deleted. Makes no difference though. :-([/quote]

Check your setting on Tools => Options => Copies to self. Next copy all messages from the failing folder to a new one (different name), delete the old one and rename it to the previous name, try again (but you may have to adjust any filter rules involving this folder).

[quote user="AngelB"]Tomorrow I will try with the ~a and let you know[/quote]

If you ran the installer on the server I wonder why it wasn't there in the first place since Pegasus Mail starts the IERenderer installer which should do it for you. I'm almost sure it'll work this way.

[quote user="bitseeker"]Is it possible to use multiple lines as replacement with automatic formatting?[/quote]

Why don't you just try it and report back?

I realize that this is an old thread, but I just started having this problem after upgrading from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro and from Pegasus 4.71 to 4.72.572. HTML emails do not display, plain text format does.

 All suggestions as to how to fix this welcome!

 Thanks,

Steve

Happens regularly to me, with no apparent ill effect.
