[quote user="David Obdrzalek"]But what if they are local in respect to the mailserver, not Pegasus? Pegasus cannot know about all users, then. I foggily remember it might have been so when we used the Novell mailserver years ago - writing to users in the department by short name and to the outside world by internet addresses containing @. [/quote]

You are right, in such case Pmail is not able to know about all local users. But if this is true, the user (or admin) should get the opportunity to decide whether he want to use local user names or not. To avoid the permanent error messages from Mercury (about 10 to 15 postmaster notifications per day @ 10 users) I would immediately disable the usage of local user names for internal communication, especially when auto-completing is activated - that means normally no more typing effort.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It did solve my problem: same issue,  was experimenting with dual screen. Using Pegasus 4.51. After updating to 4.63 still same problem.

Editing state.pmj is indeed less drastic as removing it also removed the folderview. (which I did, but luckely had it renamed instead of deleted).

[quote user="dbowser"]How can I assure that the entire original message is included? [/quote]

Update to , maybe? Otherwise try to do a select all before starting a reply and choose Selected portion from the upcoming dialog. BTW: What kind of messages are affected? Formatted (HTML) ones or plain text (you only need to tell us if updating Pegasus Mail isn't an option: then we would like to get a sample message for duplication as well)?

I'd just like to share my experience updating my wife's pmail from 4.41. Things did not go well.

Post upgrade:

after the logo screen we'd get a cryptic sql failure message from spamholder about a corrupt database

then we'd get the 'what's new' screen, and after that a message that there were autosaved messages that hadn't been sent (there were none)

I then (and this was the purpose of the upgrade) I changed her pop server from my box (running mercury) to pop.gmail.com:995


-upon restart, the new pop profile had reverted to the old one. The new one was there, but invisible, I had to manually add back on each restart and disable the old one. Even after deleting, the old profile did not stay deleted.

-the spamholder error persisted, as did the 'what's new' message, as did the 'autosaved messages' message.

-there was no menu item for the spamholder in the tools menu (!) 


Trying to force a preference write with ctrl-exit did not help, the problems persisted. The pop profile kept reverting, the 'what's new' message

kept popping up and the spamholder spat the dummy every time. Nor could I turn it off, sans menu command.


Hijinks, hair pulling and blue language ensued. I won't trail through all the unsuccessful attempts at solution here, which I sifted from the help file and

searches of this forum.


In the end, I tried renaming pmail.ini. Upon restart, the program requested I enter a new email address, new pop server (hey, it did NOT give me the 

option at that point to enter a secure connection, and of course the pickup subsequently failed - it might be a good idea to allow for that in future!)

Problems solved. No more spamholder errors, the spamholder item on the tool menu is now present, no more 'what's new' pop-up spam. No more mention

of auto-saved messages. Go figure. 

There were no permission problems with the old .ini file, that was the first thing I checked.... the program just would not write to it, and the missing menu 

item has me completely baffled. (Before anyone asks: win xp home on that machine, no UAC a la' Vista or Win7 running interference here)


Conversely, the upgrade to 4.62 from 4.5x on my own box went without a hitch.

-P.

To all my friends who have worked so hard to help me.

After

messing around with all info received and written down notes , I believe the problem is now solved.I have tested with a couple of other email addresses both back and forth and it IS now working.I'm glad Brian reminded me of checking the box about deleting mail after received because I was getting several duplications when I checked the host but after checking the box that solved the problem.

Please accept my sincere gratitude to every one of you for jumping in and helping me and understanding you were dealing with an idiot...LOL. I'm sure all of you were shaking your heads.This is a great example of what a help forum is all about.

The only problem now is my wife....she thinks my address is too long but it was something I had to give the guy when he was installing. All my others which were used were taken. but that shouldn't be a problem changing now as all the other important stuff has been completed

Thank you all so much again...just wish I could repay you all as you've made my life a whole lot easier

[quote user="caisson"]

The point is that the help files are the key.

Move or delete should be at the end of the list, that is why there is an option when creating a rule to put it at the bottom of the list.

Regard that as the 'Bottom button" 

[/quote]

This is the actual issue.

I am not using the the Filter Icon (Green Funnel) in the Main Menu bar to create rules, where "insert rule at the end of list" option is available.

While shifting from Auto-filtering to manual filtering, First I created many rules using filtering icon from Main Menu bar entering mail ids manually to check the procedure. I might have used the "insert at end" check-box at that time sending those rules at the bottom. Then I shifted to using the filter icon from Preview Panel bar for all other existing mails. Next, for new mails, I used filtering icon from  Email view bar after opening that mail.

Here, Preview Panel bar or Email Menu bar does not have this option to send the rule to end of the list, resulting in piling up all "move" rules at the top. The result was my "set colour" rule got sandwiched between 2 layers of "move" rules.

It will be a good option to provide this check-box for sending rule to the end of list in Preview Panel as well as Email view bar filter.

And in case one misses out on marking this check-box, while editing the same rule afterwards using Main Menu bar filter icon, options for "move to bottom" (for Move and Delete rules) and "move to top" (for rules like "set colour" which got sandwiched) will help a lot instead of clicking all the way to top or bottom.

Thanks & Regards,

Rad.

[quote user="radhx"]I will try and check out what I can do with Comodo Firewalls' setup, though I have already defined winpm-32.exe as safe/trusted application. Are there any other PMail EXE's / DLL's which I should indicate to my firewall, which could be raising the hackles of Comodo?[/quote]

I don't think this will help since it appears to inject its modules into any running application, so only removing it completely might solve your issues, I'm afraid - unless there's a way of exempting Pegasus Mail completely from being "firewalled" (software firewalls are useless anyway, BTW, it's enough to have Windows' own firewall running).

I think the coordinates you are looking for are stored in the user's pmail.ini file on the application window line.

In order to use two different setups with two different values saved you would need to use:

-Y <filename>[/quote]

 

Excellent. I copied my pmail.ini to pmail_single.ini and pmail_dual.ini.  Now I have two shortcuts in my start meny, one for each monitor setup.  I knew there was a easy solution for daily use.

[quote user="idw"]

Glen, after reading this post again: Do I understand correctly that you're simply clicking an email address in SuperOffice for creating a new email message? And do I correctly assume that this option does not provide any further data to Pegasus Mail (called "attachments" in the above log)? Using OpenOffice this appears to work properly ...

[/quote]

Correct, and I notice that in several other programs this appears to work correctly as well.  This leads me to believe at least part of the problem is with SuperOffice, but of course they will claim that their software works with other mailers.

[quote user="peggy"]When you deinstall the IERenderer (simply rename "IERenderer.fff" / "IERenderer.fde" when Pmail is closed) scrolling the open new messages with the mouse wheel do not work any more for new incoming messages, if the messages are HTML mails. ( no preview mode)[/quote]

Don't do this: If you mess around with these files IERenderer is not disabled, it simply falls back into BearHtml mode since it hasn't been properly initialized (which may cause unwanted side effects as you just encountered since IERenderer needs to implement some BearHtml related workarounds as well). If you want to uninstall IERenderer go to the control panel's uninstall page and use the (un)installer: As long as there's still a file called Renderer.pm IERenderer will not be disabled but only loaded "on demand" instead of on Pegasus Mail's startup. IOW: If you want to uninstall it use the (un)installer, if you want to disable it use its button menu, don't touch the files!

Email from PMAIL support after review of log files I provided. Appears that Eaarthlink has made a change:

 Ok here is the problem. It appears this is one of the servers that advertise the

AUTH type CRAM-MD5 but have not really implemented it. This is why David added the option

in v4.6x to "Do not use CRAM-MD5 authentication even if it is advertised " If you select this

option when editing the SMTP setup under "Security" then it will fall back to using the AUTH

PLAIN or LOGIN.

 

Selecting this option does fix the issue. I have provided this feedback to Earthlink as well.

> I want a way to copy a default set of user setting (mailboxes, filters, public folders, Reply settings, ISP setting, etc) to the new
> user. Is there a standard way to do this. So far I have duplicated a user folder then changed the folder name to the new user.

You need to use the pmdflts.ini file.  In older versions of Pegasus Mail, a file called DEFAULTS.PM was used to manage default settings for new users. DEFAULTS.PM offered only a very limited range of customizations and wasn't generally very satisfying.  

Under Pegasus Mail v3.x for DOS and WinPMail, a new text-based INI format is used to store user preferences. The same file format
can be used to default almost any aspect of the program's operation, using the following steps:

1:  Login as a guinea-pig user. You might want to create a
    temporary account for doing this.

2:  Run Pegasus Mail for DOS and/or for Windows (they share the
    same file) and set them up in exactly the way you would like
    them to appear to your users. Things you will typically change
    are preferences settings, and message settings (such as
    copy-to-self and so on).

3:  Quit, and change to the guinea-pig user's new mail folder in
    SYS:MAIL/USERID. Locate the file called PMAIL.INI.

4:  Copy PMAIL.INI to the same directory as PMAIL.EXE and
    WINPMAIL.EXE under the name PMDFLTS.INI.

5:  Edit the file using any text editor and remove the "Personal
    name" setting. We also recommend that you remove the Window
    positioning settings for the Windows version of Pegasus Mail,
    and any references to local drives on your machine.

That's all there is to it! New users will now pick up all the settings in this file, except for the POP3 configuration information,  the first time they run Pegasus Mail for DOS or Windows.

An alternative is *not* to remove the "Personal name" parameter, but to substitute the name of an environment variable. For instance, I use:  

Personal name                             = ~%FULL_NAME%

which takes the value of the FULL_NAME variable (which we set in the NetWare login script) and places it in the "Personal name" field for the new account.

Seems to be something to do with your system.

For me, the sound plays as soon as the popup appears.

I'm running 4.62 on Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

Hopefully someone can suggest what you can check for.

Cheers.

This is a fraud warning, the issue is described by the error code, if it only affects certain (trustable) domains you can add them to IERenderer's list of Local IP addresses in its configuration dialog like this:
