First off, cancel all interest in this; it's not a bug.  It's most probably a virus in action. (I just edited the original post to reflect the bogus nature of my false report.)  No clue why it would attack Pegasus and not, hmm, OpenOffice.Org or whatever other freeware apps I'm running off the stick. But for whatever reasons, Pegasus is the victim. Duh.

Secondly, sorry for any confusion. Step #2 in the list is what happens after the USB stick is plugged into the port; i.e., the little window opens and asks what you want to do.

Now, to hunt the virus.

Hmmm, any clues on that and I'll be grateful.

It so happens that I've paid for 3 copies of Norton 360, and we're only using 1 of them. I wonder if it would be worth it, or if that would only exacerbate my problems.

 Whatever, whatever, thanks for the response. As you can imagine, I'm highly annoyed by this. I'm trying to figure out what on earth could have happened. I highly suspect some sort of hardware (possibly firmware in the stick) error in this.

Whatever, thanks for your input.

The install ran like clockwork. Problem fixed.

 Thank You!!!!!!

Thanks Jim!  Is there some reason we need to reindex the address book in order to edit an entry, or is that a bug?  ...Steve

Not really sure, Steve. Perhaps one of the folks closer to the developer(s) could answer that.

I have found the problem. I had the option under Message Reader for showing the fancy version if a choice exists set to Off, ie always show the Text version first. With this option not set the default when forwarding also became Text Only.  Very confusing!

OK, thanks.  That works.  Is it new?

[/quote]

New in versions after 4.41 so has been around for a while now. Other changes and additions to Help also, some added in 4.61 like changes/additions to the Glossary function etc.. Be to read the What's new section of 4.61 and in 4.62 soon.

It worked! Thanks a lot!

Like you, I thought that the chances were slim, but fortunately I was wrong. I am also pleased to see that the html pages seem to be rendered faster than on XP. Or maybe I am just biased.

[quote user="dlt123"] It may be, but I doubt it, that Pegasus may not be compatible with my mail company... Frontier.com...

[/quote]

I found the Frontier setup page for Pegasus users. So Pegasus will/should work with Frontier. I assume you have set up your SMTP as per this page.

This link came from this page.

Interestingly, others struggling with Frontier. One solved it by following the Frontier setup page. I hope you have similar luck.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the hint. It works. After re-indexing all duplicated entries are gone.

But does Pmail holds a separate local index of the system address book? I thought that all address books are being red on start of Pmail.

Thanks for that perhaps this is the problem as this user is just about the only one here still using IE9.  Hover as far as I know none is the emails he is having trouble with have any hyperlinks in.

 I will try this on his system and see if it fixes the problem. 

[/quote]

It does not matter whether the user uses IE9 or whether another browser is set as system default. If IE9 is on the system they need to update ierenderer or disable it and use BearHtml. Some have said that is not enough and even if they never  use IE9 if it has been added to their system and it never downgrades or dissappears. Just i[date of ierenderer fixes things whether or not they intent to use it as their default renderer. Machines that did not allow the optional update or XP machines are not effected because the XP ones can't  possibly load or use IE9 and IE8 is newest they can have on their system.

On the Download Controls tab, there is an option "Download only unread mail (i.e. new since the last connection)"

I'm assuming this is the option you are talking about. If it isn't, then I suggest you look at this one.

Cheers

Guten Tag Micheal, und danke:

Well, your solution worked for *that* problem, but made the mail program close down and when reopened it had that autosaved message problem that I asked about yesterday - so I'd guess these may all be related?

I'm not sure if you'll get this message if I mark the message resolved, so if you can, please do so - if not I will try to get some time later today to do it.

thanks again,

~m

I was testing using messages I'd written in plain text. No HTML to be seen at all as I recall.

I will have a look at some HTML messages as well, but I'm not worried about them, or this really.

Thank you.

Cheers

[quote user="kalu"]is there any simple way so that i can transfer all the old emails from pegasus to other email clients such as thunderbird or outlook[/quote]

A will reveal several results ...

[quote user="Victoria-nola"]Is there any way to get mailboxes to automatically open once you've collected mail and the emails have filtered new mail into the mailboxes?    I haven't been able to find information on this either in the help or here on this site. [/quote]

Not that I'm aware of.

Not sure if you know that you can get the mail folder font to change colour, so that can easily see which mail folders have new mail.

Go to Tools / Options and look under Incoming Mail / Folder behaviours. Set the colour for recent unread mail.

Cheers

Distribution lists are *.pml files and may be in your home mail box location or may also be in the programs location (same as winpm-32) if they are system wide ones. They are single files and text based and can be opened with Notepad. Copy from old system to the thumb drive and place in your home mail box location there.

Hi Jerry:

Thanks - that worked.  The new machine is Win 7, so had a bit of a search to figure out where things were - and on this machine (XP) the *.pmr files didn't show up at all in explorer but did show up when I used the search option.  I just find that strange.  But it worked - transferred them to the thumb drive and then offloaded them to the new program and machine.

Thanks again

Worked like a charm!  Thank you!

[quote user="Wnderer"]I'm currently using version 4.41 and I'm happy with it. Is there any compelling reason I should update to a newer version?[/quote]

According to your above statement I don't see any, but if you want to update you should postpone it until 4.62 is released (should now be a matter of days only).

[quote user="todd"]

Thanks Jim.  just changed it to a white color and that helps alot

Thanks so much

[/quote]

todd,

 By changing to white you and your recipients won't be able to see the quoted text in your replies (unless you're using another color for the message background). If it's your intention not to have quoted text in replies, you can accomplish that directly by un-checking "Include the text of the original message in the reply" in the dialog that appears after clicking the "Reply" button on the tool bar. The reply will use the original subject line prefixed by "Re:" and contain only the text that you type.

 Jim

Please disregard post.  I searched the database (which I should have done first) and fixed my problem. 

Thank you

Todd
