Many thanks for your prompt response and assistance. Yes, I tried searching the forum for about an hour before posting my query; large forum! Also tried the FAQs since I figured it would be a fairly common issue. Followed both your links. Encountered a problem following the advice of the first in so far as the new machine doesn't appear to have a backup facility in the system tools (!!) whereas my old machine does. Ended up borrowing a big external drive and just copying the whole shebang over oldstyle. Thanks very much again for responding.
Thanks, I got your dump reports and forwarded them to David Harris' detailed bug report account (you should get a copy). In general it would be better if you could follow MiniDump's instructions as much as possible since the error report message created by MiniDump in the affected Pegasus Mail user's draft manager provides more detailed information especially about versions of all involved modules. Fortunately they aren't really required in this case, so it didn't matter too much.
[quote user="herbert2000"]super, vielen Dank, der Drucker war's - seit letzter Woche habe ich einen neuen Netzwerkdrucker, es lag also (wahrscheinlich) gar nicht direkt an den Pmail-Version. So lässt sich auch das "unstabile" Verhalten erklären: Sobald der Drucker ausgeschaltet ist oder in Standby gibt eine Verzögern, läuft der Drucker geht es auch in PMail einwandfrei ... nochmals vielen Dank für die schnelle Hilfe![/quote]
Just for everyone: The issue was caused by an unavailable network printer (see (e.g.) for more details). Herbert, could you mark your issue as resolved: There's a special selection control at the top right of the title bar in your starter post for this thread.
[quote user="oskar270"]Also I created a new address book and import the .PMR file created by Dawn and this didn't work either.[/quote]
You imported PMR? PMR is the addressbookfile so simply copy it to your mailboxdirectory and open Pegasus. If DAWN doesn't create the indexfile PM! you will have to reinde the folder in Pegasus.
[quote user="idw"]Did you forget about the (September 2011), maybe? And there's currently another interim update (v4.63) in preparation, see David's news from November, 30th ...[/quote]
Thanks for the heads-up re David's Nov. 30 news. The main page I check only shows a Aug. 2010 Dev News Page Update as being new (under NewsFlashes!) and the "updated November 30" below does not mention the year. So it wasn't obvious that anything new was added since Sept. 2011 with the 4.62 release.
While I appreciate "maintenance releases that fix numerous small problems" I keep hoping to see v5.
[quote user="FJR"]Not possible and not needed. If you use IE-Renderer you may resize font view with CTRL+PgUp/PgDn or users of other mailclients like Thunderbird or Outlook with CTRL++/- like in the webbrowsers (IE, Firefox). And that's the answer for your last question too.[/quote]
IERenderer's configuration dialog allows you to set a default zoom value as well ...
An Html message composer should try, where possible, to not hard code font sizes or fontnames. As they have no way of knowing what default sizes and names are set up by the receiver. Also if hard coded, there is no flexibility in changing the font information. For instance most browsers allow for a user to increase or decrease font size on the fly with a keystroke or mouse button.
IMHO do not know of anyone who writes messages using CSS, and it is also unlikely anyone, except for web server admins to be writing text in Html markup tags or CSS markup.
I deleted the .PMC and PHC file connected with the inbox, and solved the issue. [:)]
Deleting the cache via tools did not work, because PM crashes when I connected to the mailbox, and it never gets a chance to disconnect and exit in a controlled manner.
It all failed when I tried to run it from my portable drive, on a Vista box. It seems Peg can't find the one and only user, as it's asking all the configuration questions you have to go through on a (normal) first install.
I did launch winpm-32 with the -roam option. It seems Vista obviously does things differently.
