Can you please forward me a copy of the message that crashes on you in Fancy mode? Please send it to irelam@telus.net   The version of Bearhtml 4.6.3 should be able to handle all messages except for occasional home made s p a m.

Thank you

[quote user="popper"]What's the best way to completely uninstall PM including all traces in the registry?  That may work.[/quote]

Not necessary, you may install a new version along with a previous one and should be able to move contents after doing so, there are several posts on the forum providing details about moving mailboxes or restoring backups.

To send a word document you will have to attach it to the email.  I regularly send out word documents complete with pictures and don't have any problems.

[quote user="anbecker"]update to 4.61[/quote]

This issue was actually the main reason for getting 4.61 out in it's premature state (some rough UI edges).

Thanks for the replies.

I'll look into it in a bit more detail later, but I might try copying all the folders to the 'data' partition of the HD and see how it goes.

 I'll post the results.

I have been trying to set up an email account. I successfully put in

all the information, down load the email, send some mail and then log

off. Next time I start Pegasus, after sigining in (we have several users

using the Pegasus for email, the others have no problem) I am asked to

complete the configuration again! This has happened 4 times in a row

tonight. I cannot figure out why the configuration is disappearing after

I close the program for this one particular user.

 Windows Xp Pegasus mail 4.51

Looks like the pmail.ini file is not getting saved on exit.  Most likely there is either something wrong with this users access to his mailbox directory or PMail is crashing on closing.  Try and close out everything you can and delete the deleted messages folder so that at least these functions are not the problem.

See for links to possible solutions.

When using the import html facility it will only bring in the text. The images will not appear plus there are also a heap of dotted lines around everything.

Hi!

Has anybody found a solution for this? I have (almost) the same problem.

I'm running Pegasus Mail 4.62 on WinXP (but the same happened in previous versions).

The option 'Add this variant of the default signature...' in "Options--> Signature" works fine, but nothing happens when attaching a signature within the message editor. Both in plain text or formatted mails.

Any ideas? Is it a common problem or there is something system-specific?

Thanks, Julian

Gotcha.  Here's the fix:

1. Run pconfig
2. Select Standalone Configuration (assuming that's what you want)
3. Set Home mailbox: c:\users\username\pegasus   *** No slash at the end of the path ***
4. Set New mailbox: c:\users\username\pegasus   *** No slash at the end of the path ***
5. Exit with save.

The path to my mailbox is in my user directory, but the part that was causing me all the grief was that there was a slash at the end of the Home and New mailbox paths.  So,

   c:\users\username\pegasus\

caused the problem.  Changing it to

   c:\users\username\pegasus

solved the problem.  So simple, yet so frustrating.

After much playing around with pconfig.exe finally solved the problem.

Thanks for the helpful posts which I should have explored in more detail before posting  RTFM

 Thanks again

I've reset the folders in Spamhalter and Content Control, lets see what happens. I never touched any of them so I'm not sure as to how they would have chnaged...hmmmmm [:O]

I assume you found the answer to the first question, if not simply click on help in Manage Local Users

To automatically run Pegassus for a specific user, add -I username to the shortcut

(thats a capital i)

AVG V10 can be obtained from: http://free.avg.com/us-en/download-avg-anti-virus-free  Please note that the install time is quite long as yet more features have been packaged with the "free" version.

  Virscan.ini needs to be updated to use this new version of AVG

The Virscan.ini CMDLINE= line should be changed from AVG9 to AVG10 so that the new Cmdline looks like:

; For AVG V10 scanner something like:
CmdLine=c:\progra~1\avg\avg10\Avgscanx.exe /SCAN "!f"

> Thanks for your reply, is this a limitation of pegasus or the IMAP protocol ?

Depends a lot both on the server and the client.  Some servers support more options that others, some clients store a lot more data at the client system.  If you were to cache all of the IMAP4 data via Pegasus Mail then it would be able to search the cache without even being connected to the host.

I my case I find the Squirrelmail gets really slow when the folders get large with most IMAP4 servers, maybe Dovecot is more efficient with server side searching than the UW type IMAP4 servers.

[quote user="Xylvyr"] Since each and every email address has to "behave" like a standalone email when I use the "reply" functions, does that mean that each address will need its own identity? [/quote]

Yes.

[quote user="Xylvyr"] And if so, can all the mail for all the identities still be checked in one sweep? Or just all the mail for one identity at a time?

[/quote]

They can all be checked in one sweep. Have a look at the two options at the bottom of Tools | Internet options | Receiving.

Cheers!

Autofilter is not working on newly created folders as well as the two originally mentioned.

Makes me want to say bad words, right out loud.

Any suggestions?  Is this the only occurrence of this situation?

These may be copies of folders in you current mailbox and if so they will not show up in the folder list.  Try using the following utility.

PMRestArch - Pegasus Mail Restore Mail Folder Archives:
http://www.lexacorp.com.pg

Usage:
PMRestArch SourceDir DestinationDir

Description:
Pegasus Mail cannot display two mail folders with the same internal ID even if they are in separate mailboxes. Mail folders also have to be Read-Write.
      
This causes problems when trying to view mail folders which have been archived by copying them to backup media.

This utility:

1.  Copies all .PMM and .PMI files in the source directory to the destination directory and renames them as BAKxxxxx.PMM
    and BAKxxxx.PMI.

2.  Ensures that the resulting file is Read/Write.

3.  Creates a different internal unique ID for each file.

Once you have run this program to restore archived folders to a directory you can attach that directory using the Pegasus Mail 'Add mailbox to list' option and access the archived folders in this new mailbox.

Thanks Michael. Greatly appreciated.

At least now I know it's not worth pursuing anymore.  I was beginning to think the way to do it was obvious but I was too clueless to find it.
