[quote user="seanlu21"]I set up my "google apps" acct via POP, but it seems all my google apps Gmail emails went into 'new mail' folder .... there are 20,000+ ,[/quote]

Pegasus Mail can only deal properly with new mail (sort, e.g.) with up to 750 message in the new mail folder, but it shouldn't crash (only take extremely long to finish parsing new mail). If it crashes there's something else involved: Are you using the latest version (4.62)?

To avoid these crashes you should move all new mail messages (files with CNM extension) out of the respective directory, but I'm afraid figuring out which one crashes Pegasus Mail might be a painful task since you would have to move these files back until opening one of them crashes Pegasus Mail again ... We would be interested in the crashing one, of course, but only if you're already using 4.62, otherwise it might be enough to just install the update.

HUGE Thank you for the advice,

I thought my 4.41 version was the newest, It wasn't.

Checking one's version to make sure it is most current, is the best suggestion but never mentioned in the results of my original query searching for a an answer. So, I am hoping this message will appear in results for others who may experience similar issues.  Doing the upgrade to most recent version DID the trick, wow, blazing fast results when identifying unread messages on mail servers where mail is not immediately deleted upon download completion. 

answering winsock question,  on demand was checked so changed it to always per Caisson and help sections suggestion.  But when rebooted and reloaded pmail, it was still slow, then did upgrade to 4.62, that worked.   Ahhhhhhhhhhh (a joy to check emails once again with short wait times)

Thanks to Michael and Caisson for their assistance.  I continue to be a big fan of Pmail.   Cheers Everyone    [ip][D][Y][H]  

Hi rocket,

Request moved to Suggestion Thread.

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks for these hints. Pegasus is found at /userid/.wine/dosdevices/c:/pmail but I cannot find Pmail.usr in the Pmail\mail dir but it is in Pmail\mail\mail. What programme do I need to read the .usr file?

You aren't running into a problem with case sensitive paths and file names are you?

By the way, "dosdevices/c:" is the same as "drive_c"

Yes, I did add to the thread.

Here a try. My screenshot.

Thanks, changed to reporting level 5 and confirmed the addressbook. The batch file still isn't working though, must be doing something wrong...

Good. Time overlap as your message/post came in while I was preparing and post. The missing username it wanted was probably ADMIN.

Also see my response to your post under the topic "Problems on Windows 10 - using Pmail 4.70.

I'm not sure what you are doing, but as a start point make sure your messages are cached in order to view them offline.

You can use a POP3 filter to do this.  The Message Age filter allows you to leave on the server mail older than a specific number of days or a specific date.

Filtering on message age

To trigger a rule based on the age of the message, simply enter either a date, or a number of days. The rule will trigger if the message's Date: field specifies a date older than the date you enter. This type of rule can be useful for purging mail from folders once it reaches a particular age.

Filtering on the message date

To trigger a rule on the date of a message, enter either a pair of dates, or a range of numbers of days. It does not matter whether you enter the earliest or latest date first - Pegasus Mail sorts them into the correct sequence internally. The rule will be triggered if the Date: field of the message specifies a date that falls within the range you have specified. This type of rule can be useful for selecting messages received within a particular time period.

This makes sense is the focus is off of the original message window but I can't duplicate it.  Focus always returns to the original message window after sending a reply and the M button works.  I thought perhaps focus would change after doing a copy to self on the reply but even then the focus returns to the original message.  I run Pegasus (v4.62) windowed (stretched to full screen) in List mode but tested both windowed and maximized.

Duh! Thanks!

Works 100% of the time if the windows are not maximized no matter how many windows are open.

Sorry--I'll start a new thread.

Good catch!  And thanks for reporting your findings back to the forum.

>>Setting the "wantcss" flag to "yes" solved the problem. <<

I agree. I have changed in the ini file from "wantcss=no" to "wantcss=yes" about 2 years ago and since then this problem never was visible.

For test I have changed to "no" and then many messages have again this problem. So set "wantcss=yes" was the better decision.

Add the following line to the end of Filetype.pm in your Pegasus Mail executables directory (eg c:\pmail)

MS-Word DOCX,0,S,0,PK

See wqriteup at beginning of this file for explanation of the variuos fields

Thanks, Michael. This is the issue I tried to describe. I'm still happily running version 4.62 though, including Vincent's hard to close extension. Oh, and I know including screenshots is helpful in such cases, but also a bit of a hassle :-)

Cheers!

I sometimes receive emails with addresses in the form of something like: "JohnnyD"<JohnD@madeup.com>

Pegasus can use these just fine in replies/forwards.  Can I set Pegasus to GENERATE that format of address?  I only see how to choose EITHER address or alias.

You can enter the addresses in the format as described above and choose the option "enter address instead of aliases", then this expression appears in both the message editor and the message received by the addressee (and the copy to self as well).
