It isn't a big deal, but I thought Pegasus would wrap, since most e-mail clients do it automatically, like most word processors do.

As far as I know, you can control this in Tools | Options | Message formatting. However, I do believe that the broken line ends are on the recipient's end rather than yours. I regularly have to hit F5 or Ctrl+F5 to to be able to read a message properly, depending on its source (email client, web mail, etc.). I have no idea how this works in other email clients. What email clients do the people you send mail to use? Do they all use the same email client or different ones?

Cheers!

If you are viewing the html version of a message you can change the default font color by editing Bearhtml.ini. Find the line that goes like  Defaultfontcolor=  and specify a color such as blue,black or white. In your case I would suggest coding DefaultFontColor=white   But note that where the message composer sets a color, it cannot be overridden.

Suddenly, Pegasus does not retain any new sort order. Every time I close and reopen a folder it reverts to the last sort order in effect before it "lost its memory".

Thanks, Michael!

Anyway, I was able to solve the problem in the meantime:

In the "address book properties" there are a couple of options to either use or not use the aliases either for each individual addressbook or for all addressbooks at once:

Choose "Addressbooks" from the "Addresses" menu, click the "Book"... button on the toolbar and choose "Addressbook properties" to access those options. 

For some reason, "Apply the e-mail address instead of the alias" was enabled for all of my addressbooks.

[quote user="kells"]I often want to forward these emails and am unable to.[/quote]

Either bounce or forward as attachment.

[quote user="kells"]Another frustration is that if I paste in formatted text, it looks okay before I send but when received, the formatting is all over the place.[/quote]

I have no idea what you're trying to say here: What does the formatting is all over the place mean?

[quote user="kells"]Even using bullets in Pegasus, when the email is viewed in Pegasus, it does not display the bullets.[/quote]

Do you have Tools => Options => Message formatting => Disable all text styling options enabled? And do you have Tools => Options => Message reader => Where a choice of formats exists, display the fancy version enabled? You may want to change one or the other ...

Pegasus appears to be sorting my messages to an algorithm I can't fathom.  In my folders, I have them sorted newest to oldest, and it looks like it's working, but then about halfway down the folder, it starts over on the date order.  So I have some of today's messages at the top, and others in reverse date order; and then in the middle of the folder, I have more of today's messages, and more of the messages in reverse date order.  It's worse in my inbox, where I have some messages that I need to process marked as urgent.  There I have urgent messages in reverse date order, then regular messages in reverse date order - and after the oldest date of the regular messages, I have more urgent messages and then more messages in reverse date order.  I've tried manually sorting them by reverse date order, and they still come up the same way. Weirder yet, this doesn't appear to happen on all my folders, only on a few.  I can have sorted a folder many times, and then suddenly the next time I sort it, it has two sections like that.  I am totally mystified why it would do that.  My inbox was fine for years, and then one day it sorted into this weird double order, and I can't get it to go back to being correct.

 I have my time zone set, so it's not a time zone issue.  Is there some other setting I'm missing?  I've looked through the settings, and can't seem to find something that would pertain to this.  I saw a FAQ on filtering rules, but it didn't tell me where to find and/or change the filtering rules, so I have no idea if those would be affecting it.  Can someone help?  I'm missing messages I should be responding to.  [:(]

This is apparently a hardware error.

I'm really sorry to ask for so much time.  Wow I feel like a dunce.

You should try another thumb drive to make sure that is not the problem.

Additionally you can remove the usb drivers through Device Manager and let Windows redetect the ports

to eliminate that as a possible source of the problem.

I don't understand... I do not want to use any external host. Why must I use smtp.gmail.com? I am only trying to run my own mail server, and testing whether it can receive outside mail.

It's kinda confusing, it seems we're talking about two different problems despite both related to a delay issue.

The first problem is just about the window refresh in Pegasus. When I launch it since the New Mail folder is full with lot of messages, Pegasus seems to freeze for a while. The windows look even not completely drawn and just part of the interface is visible (the toolbar, scroll bars yes but not all the contents in the main window)

 

The other issue happens when I download the emails. Despite I wasn't actually talking about that, there's an issue with that behavior as well. The Selective Download doesn't help as Pegasus takes a while to examine the number of messages not read still on the server. Therefore either way downloading the messages from the server, when there are let's say something like 400 messages already read, takes a lot of time. It has something to do with the method Pegasus reads the messages on the server as this problem doesn't occur with any other client I've tried so far.

> Is it possible in PMail to log into the incoming mail server and delete spam before downloading all the messages?

There is the POP3 filtering that can be used to delete a message before downloading, however some part of the message must be downloaded for filter matching. 

If the tag you are looking for is in the headers then it will only download the headers. 

If you are checking body text then it will not help at all since you have to download the message anyway.

I am quite enthusiastic about David's announcement that a new contact manager will be implemented soon while on the other hand it is a bit disappointing that at least initially no synchronization functionality shall be provided. Does anybody from the beta team know whether there will be a comfortable import function which allows to import contacts directly from e.g. gmail?
