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

Thank you again.  And you are right.  Prob fixed.  Huge thanks, M.

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.

Hi Michael,

I fixed my problem.

 IERenderer version 2.4.0.2 works fine.

 Thank you very much.

Have a nice Weekend.

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.

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.

The server name or address could not be resolved (12007).

Do you want to allow your browser to download it nevertheless?[/quote]

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:

[quote user="edg"]My default system debugger is configured to be Visual Studio (even though I have WinDbg installed as well). When the exception occurred in Pegasus, the Exception dialog gives the option to open it in my Debugger without any intermediate DMP file saving involved. If this or any other exception occurs again, I'll see if I can investigate a better way to capture the dump file itself.[/quote]

I assume it works more or less like WinDbg, so there might be a similar approach for exporting a dump file.

Is there a type error in you post are are actually using 4.51 which is quite old and not normally used with Vista or newer systems. Did you actually mean 4.61 version? current would be 4.62 version. http://download-us.pmail.com/w32-462.exe which does include improvements in download speed or checking messages if left on the server.

[quote user="Shaharin"]I've always had it "on demand", ever since I started using PMail, back in about 1995 or so, and never encountered this problem.[/quote] Times are changing: It turned out that the ... on demand setting would be causing performance issues (plus rightout POP3/SMTP failures) in connection with some HTML rendering features (a rather complex issue): Don't forget to restart Pegasus Mail after changing this option.

[quote user="bfluet"]... select Sharing and Security.  Select the Security tab then in the top half of that window select the user for whom you need to change permissions (if not listed use the Add button to add).  Once that user is selected, tick the Allow box on the Full Control line....

I started for this subject.

There is a file named PMAIL.USR which is located in the root mailbox folder.  This file contains the list of local users (mailboxes) that Pegasus uses to identify local users and distribute mail directly to a local user mailbox.  You should be able to see the list of local users by using the Addresses|User management menu option in Pegasus Mail.  If you don't see a list of local users then there may be a permissions issue.  In order to send local mail you need permissions that allow you to read files in the root mailbox folder and permissions that allow you to write to each mailbox folder. 

If this doesn't help you sort it out provide more details about the location of the user mailboxes and also provide us with the Pegasus Mail installation information (copy and paste the contents of Help|About Pegasus Mail|Info button.

Are you sure that the "rich text" has been selected?

[/quote]

That was the key. I wasn't selecting that option, however that raises another issue in terms of consistency.

While looking at this I tried forwarding messages containg hyperlinks generated by different applications.

Without the richtext option some work and some don't, e.g. a message initially generated by Outlook Express worked while one from Outlook did not.

All work if the rich text option is selected.

I suppose the questions that raises for the non-technical among us are:

Why the initial message from Pmail doesn't need richtext selected to work, but the forwarded message does?

Why some forwarded messages work without the richtext options and some don't?  

[/quote]

The first question I've answered.  It is checked automatically in a new message containing a hyperlink.

That would be a good addition to the forwarding setup.

Thanks again, Jerry.  Everything is running okay now.

[quote user="radhx"]Where do I get the update for this extension?[/quote]

That's why I pointed you to the other thread: Vincent Fatica appears to be its creator, so ask him whether the extension has already been replaced with a fixed one.
