Thanks,

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.

Sincerly,

Tangofil

Aw bummer, then you will probably not be interested in hearing about pop3 filter rules and their use in combination with distribution lists.

Cheers!

Thanks for reporting back.

Well, me and my mouth!

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.

I'll have more info later, no time right now.

Dave.

You're right. Anyhow, thanks again.

I'd recommend against turning this back on since this is not normally necessary and if it is you have a whole lot more problems on your system than sending a virus.  In any case this sort of scanning causes more problems than it solves.

I assume you are talking about SMTP authentication since any receiving will not be causing your mail not to be sent.  In addition, if you have a failure of authentication then it will be seen as you send.

This also should not have caused any problem that you would not see immediately upon sending.

If mail is being accepted by your ISP without error and is not received by a different host I suspect your are being caught in some sort of spam trap where the mail is quietly deleted when caught rather than being bounced back at the SMTP host.  This is typical since most spam traps that catch the mail after receipt by the SMTP host, they almost never bounce the mail back to the receiver since the addresses in the mail body are generally faked.

The file is Bearhtml.ini  (my typo :-(  )  Problem will most likely still exists once it is corrected, by me.

Is there anything new about these problems I am having reported ago?

It is still a problem, especially when you use Pmail with the -roam option on different computers and start it from removable devices.

Pmail V4.62 / LibTidy V1.0.5 / Bear and Renderer newes versions.

 I had the same trouble as you are explaining after installing an updated version of Acrobate.

Open Pegasus and click on the tools menu. Click options and go to the content viewer.If Acrord32.exe is listed DELETE IT. Than click the add button and add ( .PDF ) and click apply. Highlite .PDF and click edit. In the define attachment viewer take this action select Let Windows choose and run an appropriate application. Click OK, APPLY and than OK again. This worked for me and brought pegasus mail back the way it was before. I can click the open button on the .PDF file and windows opens it or I can click the .PDF file and it opens. This should correct your problem.

When Pegasus asks for a user it means that it can't find any.  This PMAIL.CFG files contains the paths to the home and new mailbox folders (usually the same) where PMAIL.USR is read for user information.  I certainly appears that Pegasus can't access the root mailbox folder.  Check permissions. 

What OS are you running?

What is the path to WINPM-32.EXE?

What is the path to the MAIL folder?

Thank you, Michael,

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

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.

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.
