Depending on what access rights you have to the MySql database you can simply do the following at the DOS Command Prompt:

1. Type Mysql.  You should get a prompt back stating "MySql>"

2: Type in SELECT * FROM databasename.tablename INTO OUTFILE 'C:/TEMP/afilename.TXT;  In Windows, the Databasename is the directory, and Tablename is the name assigned by your software to the address book table. Hopefully something useful.  If you have the right table, you should find the OUTFILE created in C:/TEMP. Otherwise you probably have some access rights issue that your Admin might help with.

3. Type in QUIT

The file created in 2. above can now be opened and edited in Microsoft Excel to get column names matching the names required by Pegasus Mail (see Helpfile) and unwanted columns deleted.

File can then be saved as afilename.CSV  All being well you can then import afilename.CSV into Pegasus Mail

Thanks "rocket". I basically did what you said and found that the sound "Question" was missing. I made it chord.wav.

 If anyone knows the map of actions to sounds (e.g. "Do you want to make a copy" provokes the "Question" sound) that would be useful.

Ok, understand....but I send the dmp file to you, and tried once more with only the PMDebug.exe but I did not get any cab or dmp file eventhough PM crashed.

That's a little bit odd, isn't it ? 

I'd have to update or install IE 9 on my laptop before I can test if there is a difference between the browsers. So maybe tomorrow.... 

Thank you so far.... 

[quote user="Annie Collins"]Can anyone tell me that capacity of Pegasus in size of mail in folders or all over ie how much historic mail can I keep in the program.  I am writting a book and am using it as a kinda database of information.[/quote]

The restrictions are in supported file sizes by your OS. But ... to keep Pegasus performant, you should have as less as possible mails in inbox or any folder with filtering rules.

Am familiar with DOSBox and will download a copy so that I can run pconfig.exe

The balance of your tutorial is thorough and I must now get my feet wet to fully understand and appreciate.  We now use a common username  which certainly is appropriate for children, grandchildren and now one great grandchild (but at one he does not type yet) and many friends but we also have our independent interests where I will consider setting up separate aliases with our ISP.  Without separate accounts we would not see any value

Thomas, you have been more than helpful and I do appreciate the time spent with me (and obvious that you do this for many).

Could you post relevant DATE-Headers from raw view and what Pegasus shows in folder?

What's you timezone?

[quote user="cybercrone"]It's a fairly significant problem as it seems to be happening more and more often..  [/quote]

Did you update to ?

Brilliant.  Editting the STATE.PMJ file did the trick.  Thank you so much

Which error messages? May be they have been about a folder needing reindexing or cosistency check?

Your folder didn't disappear  - the index was destroyed for some reason (it's a seperate file). Seldomly had this "problem" with older versions of Pegasus but not so far with new version. Most times it occured with broken networkconnections (folders are on a server) or crashing Windows. Perhaps check your hardware ... especially memory and harddisk.

You don't need to go back. But as everytime you have important data on your computer you should have a good backup of that data! Do you?

bye   Olaf

Yes that particular problem seems to have been fixed. Olaf put me onto changing my options settings. That seemed to do the trick.

The thing is that each day when I get up I don't know what to expect. Example: The last 2 days my mail was coming in multiples, say 5 basic messages would come in as 487 . And each message was actually repeated 80-90 times. Now this morning all seems to be working beautifully. Later today??? who knows.

The one constant is that so far it has all been happening with my yahoo.com account. Just rambling in frustration I guess. 

You tell us you have a Yahoo-account with mailaddress johnnybegood99003@yahoo.com. Do you?

Why are you using the server p3plsmtpa01-05.prod.phx3.secureserver.net??? Send it to SMTP-server of Yahoo!!!

bye   Olaf

However, if one goes to the Sympatico site, the recommended configuration is:

 Outgoing mail server (SMTP)

1. SMTP Server: smtphm.sympatico.ca
2. Port: 25 (or 587 if port 25 does not work)
3. Authentication required: Yes
4. TLS/SSL Required: Yes (select TLS if available, if not, select SSL)

 This is exactly how I have configured Pegasus.

Then the next thing to do is turn on session logging  and get on the line with them with the session log in hand and ask them what the error message means.

There has been much traffic and discussion on the DNSChanger Trojan (since last Oct?) could this be a factor? All heck will be breaking 2012-mar-08. Do a search for DNSChanger.

 from a commandline type:

ipconfig /all<ret>

Near the end there should be one or two entries for DNS.

Here are some known hostile IP address pairs used by the DNS Changer malware:

64.28.176.1 -  64.28.191.254

67.210.0.1 -  67.210.15.254

77.67.83.1 - 77.67.83.254

85.255.112.1 -  85.255.127.254

93.188.160.1 -  93.188.167.254

213.109.64.1 -  213.109.79.254 

Try using OpenDNS as your DNS host/source. Information can be found here:

http://www.opendns.com/

it is a free service. 

I think I have solved problem.  I changed mouse and it seems to be a better.

[quote user="ChefJohn"]I have not encountered the problem since turning off IE renderer.[/quote]

Well, I'm glad for you, but could you please help us in diagnosing this issue, for everyone's advantage?

[quote user="ChefJohn"]

When I had IE renderer turned on I could select which browser I could open a hyperlink with (I have IE, Firefox, CHrome & OPera installed).[/quote]

Yes, it's currently an IERenderer only feature which might make it into future versions of Pegasus Mail or not.

[quote user="ChefJohn"] This is new behaviour.[/quote]

Yes.

First of all you should write down the error messages.

What's the version of your Pegasus? If not up to date, try PM463.

[quote user="Ross Luelf"]Since installing the latest Pegasus (4.63), winpm.32 can  occupying 50% of my cpu for lengthy periods while Pegasus is idle,causing my PC to slow .[/quote]

There are already lots of threads dealing with this issue, most notably .
