> Rob, this sounds like it is perfectly reproducable each time Pegasus Mail is launched and there is a (fresh) new mail on top?
Yes, it is very consistant. It was brought to my attention fairly recently. I, personally, never noticed it. I don't pay much attention to the timestamps.
I have put Bearhtml 4.6.4 (fixed) on my website. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you. Bearhtml.dll (4.6.4) and associated files can be found at: http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/Bear464.zip

[quote user="Steffan"] (...) The answer is no, but it wouldn't surprise me if this were changed in either the next release (4.61) or a new version of Pmail (5.0?)[/quote]
You're right, the question was not that clear. Sorry about that... But you've won the one minute challenge ;-)
By chance - how many emails are in the 'in box/new mail folder'? Hopefully many less than 750.

Not having access to the inbox for a week would be a disaster for me and I do not dare to think about How many emails there would be..... Interesting to think about how dependent we all are of our email systems....
here is what I had to do to run pmail from my NAS:
[quote]OK, I took the plunge and moved my entire directory from my harddrive to my NAS. I mapped the mail share to the P: drive, so now everything should be in P:\PMAIL
next, I ran pconfig.exe to move the mailbox and the new mail folder to P:\pmail\mail
and then started pmail.. not there yet.. went into pmail.ini and replaced all instances of c:\pmail with p:\pmail
now we are almost there, but not quite... missing my public folders. now where was that again... maibe the state.pmj file.. so went in replaced all instances of c:\pmail with p:\pmail but still no public folders so, did the unexpected and started reading the help and found the public folders in the tools section of the pmail menu, changed c:\pmail to p:\pmail and restarted pmail.. and all appears to working like it should, incl mail filtering rules (except that pmail just crashed when I wanted to reply....)[/quote]
I couldn't open any single message in the folder. The second that I tried to even select one for deletion it crashed the program. I could see no other way than to just delete the entire folder, which is no big deal to me. I will get with you again in the future if I experience this problem again but I have for now suspended the email address that was getting the most spam, hoping it will bounce back errors to those sending and appear to be an invalid address.
I have used Pegasus for many many years, it's a great piece of work. Thanks.
Incoming mail works. The solution was to think outside the box regarding the error message telling me "bad address". There were 2 empty lines above the correct incoming mail address, which I highlighted to download mail. Once these were deleted, I was able to both download and open mail in any folder.
Outgoing mail works. I can't determine why it works as I changed none of the settings that Verizon gave me s weeks ago.
Being that WL is such a mess and not working properly no matter what I do, I've decided to go with Pegasus. I've searched on bringing a csv file over for my address book, but it doesn't seem to work. Also is there a way to import emails from Windows Live Mail 2011?
[quote user="CraigSpencer"]Looking over file list I found CACHE.PM which may explain the behavior I observed. It seems that the folders are loaded without inspection if the existing folders match the list maintained here. But if a folder has been deleted or a new one is found then an initial check will be made of all folders.[/quote]
I have no idea how the cache actually works, you may be right here.
[quote user="GordonM"]The standard for the zone (do the parentheses here mean optional?) says:
zone = (( "+" / "-" ) 4DIGIT) / obs-zone
It seems to me that the part of the Date: header in parentheses, besides being wrong, is unnecessary.[/quote]
The paratheses don't mean optional - the slash means OR. The timezone consists of "a plus OR minus and four digits in format hhmm representing difference to GMT" OR "the old fashioned and since early 1990s OBSOLETE abbreviations for timezones (like GMT, EDT)".
[quote]What I don't understand is how "Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:09:23 +0000 (GMT+00:00)" could end up as being interpreted as "31/01/2011 7:00 PM EDT. Still, if the date is not consistent with the standard, I suppose anything could happen, though it seems to be consistently wrong from three differerent mail clients.[/quote]
You have to ask the programmer of the code for analysing the date-header in all his misspelled permutations. David's code seems to handle many permutations ... but obviously not all. I know the code will ignore something like "+0000 GMT" and show correct time.
