west: Your post is not readable.

 ...Please, don't get me wrong: the signature's text is wrapped not only in the signature editor window (which is also the case in OutLook), but in the e-mail message itself. The latter is a problem.

I'm surprised that you don't have that kind of screen real estate.  24" monitors with 1920x1200 pixels are quite common now.

I just did some playing with non-preview mode.  Kinda-Sorta ok. I can arrange the folder view as a vertical strip on the left, then a center list view, then a right message view.

The biggest problem is that on many lists I don't read the msg sequentially, so I end up with a huge number of message windows stacked on each other.  Since you don't have a "close all message windows", I have to click the close button on each of the dozens (or more) of the message windows.

I've also noticed that if I double click in the list to open a msg, then decide to double click on another msg in the list to open it - it doesn't work.  I have to click, wait for focus to change, double-click to open another msg. (remember, non-sequential reading.)

I see you do save the "last opened" size/position for each of the msg list windows, so I'll just have to manually position and size each of the 200 or so lists I have.

Sure would be nice if there was a pre-defined 3 column preview format.

I'm trying to figure out where to setup my receive filters.  I get a LOT of list email, and I want filters to move them to specific folders when they are received - before I read them.

From reading the docs, it looks like my filters will only be run on unread email if I either open the new mail folder, or leave it open.  Is there any way to have the filters be run any time a new message is received, so it's immediately put into the proper folder?

Have you tried using the POP3 filter? It should work well for your scenario.

Create a folder with a name you do like. Then select all the messages in the folder named in a wrong way, then Move the content from this old folder to the new created folder. Once all content is transfered over, just delete the old folder.

Thanks for the info...

It seems that the problem messages that caused me to create this initial post are no longer an issue !? So something changed on my machine...

I will however, know to use the Crash Dump extension in future if there are issues.

In "New mail reporting" section of my options the only boxes which are checked are:
Place an icon in the tray 
Animate the icon when new mail arrives
Only display icon when Pmail is minimized
Play a newmail alert sound

Sometimes it works but quite often not. e.g. I get the sound but no wing flapping when Pmail is minimised.
Is it a Windows or Pmail problem?

XP-SP3 Pmail v4.41

Here's what happens: AVG scans an incoming message. If it finds a virus, it pops up a screen listing the CNM filename along with the virus it found. Pegasus Mail, meanwhile, just locks up.

Attempting to use AVG's 'heal' function often doesn't work. A more reliable (and faster) way is to delete the CNM file using AVG's "go to file" option.

Depending upon the AVG screen, you may see a button labeled 'Go to File' -- if not, right-click on the first infected file and select the option "go to file." This brings up a Windows Explorer window with the file highlighted. Delete the file. Repeat as necessary. Then, close the AVG window.

At this point, PMail will recover, and you'll likely see several subject-less messages in the main message window. It is not necessary to close down PMail. Instead, close the main message window and press Control-W. This will force PMail to re-scan new messages and re-open the main message window.

Hope this helps.

I looked here and could not find a similar topic header, so I'm asking

if anyone has a solution to this.  What I wish is for Pegasus to open

*without* opening a message 1 (or 2 or 3, or whatever) without my asking

for it.

Your shortcut is not running winpm-32.exe but wsend.exe.  Change your shortcut to run the program.

Fabulous!  Thanks heaps!  But it begs the question: How did I not notice that?  Oh well...

No wonder I couldn't find an off switch in the preferences  [:S]

Thanks, got it fixed

What about selective mail download?  Or IMAP.  The latter certainly works. 

As far as I can tell I have still had no further emails disappear or fail to arrive which would suggest that it is either a new mail filtering bug and that if you have delete rules some non matched emails may get deleted or sine each time its happened it has been noticed just after install that Pegasus 4.52 ONLY does this on a first pass after upgrade over the new mail folder.

 I now have 4.52 at home as well so I will continue to monitor this for a while. 

A MILLION THANKS......THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM.  I WASN;T EVEN AWARE THERE WAS A PLACE TO REVIEW QUEUED MAIL. AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[quote user="TMuecker"]Does someone know whether for the new mail folder an index file is used internally and the file name?[/quote]

The "new mail folder" isn't actually a single file plus an index, it's just the total of all CNM files in the respective Pegasus Mail user's new mail directory the name of which is shown on the Help => About Pegasus Mail => Info screen ("New mailbox location").

 I wish it was that simple, I have had my ISP work on that same issue

twice in the last month and still have not solved that problem.  Not

using the same server as James Oaksun because my ISP is AT&T.  All

they ever tell  me is we do not support Pegasus Mail, you need to

contact them and have them trouble shoot that problem.  WRONG!!

You can always provide them with a copy of the session log showing the failure.  Any real tech support type will be able to read the session log and tell you what you need to do.  This is not related to any mail client at all, this is just showing the POP3/SMTP traffic involved in the transfer.

In addition, many ISPs use many servers and the one you get with any connection is pretty random if you are using a generic host name like smtp.domain.com.  The session log will show the actual host name, it you find a server that works use that name.

 Mr. Stephenson,

 Great to see you are still here and providing

very informative information.  So many other problems that have invaded

my life since my last visit, so little time to solve all of these

problems.  The ones I have on my computer are the simplest to handle and

some times can be very frustrating to solve.  Especially involving the

ISPs, as they think they are the GODs of computing and they do NO wrong.  I say they are WRONG!!  As a User Only and not versed in the special talent of programming or even any knowledge of software capabilities.  We need YOU and those like you to assist us in finding our way . . you have provided that to me any way and I am very grateful for this information.  I am a member of many forums and have learned much from these forums.

Tools/Internet Options/Create internet session log (advanced diagnostic use only) has kept me from having this done, now I will use it more to see what I may learn from the information recorded.  I am slow but hopefully this will be productive, for me anyway. 

 Thank you so much,

When I send a mail or answer to one, everything looks fine (I even have

the message "Message was sent successfully"), but the mail is never

delivered to the destination

Turn on session logging to see if the mail is being sent to the server.   BTW, you have not been playing around installing a User Defined Gateway or Mercury have you?

Thanks.  Niall martin

OK looks like all it did was turn off the folders.

Now I still have to make a backup of EVERYTHING before I install the ew 4.52 version.

Can anyone tell me if it is OK to just make a copy of C:\PMAIL\

and use that as my back up.

SHould I install 4.52 ove rthe top of 4.41 or delete it compoletely off my system first?

I will keep trying to find this in the FAQs and discussions,. but I haven't seen a workable

answer so far.

I am stunned. That's brilliant.

Never used drag and drop around Pegasus in any way at all.

Sharkfin, you have solved an ages long problem for me. It was the option I never checked.

Thanks, George

Is it failing to send messages when it isn't set to use the password/username from a POP3 definition? You are not totally clear on whether this issue is simply strange and confusing or actually preventing you from sending messages.

Also, because the option above it is to use a specific username/password, I wonder whether Pegasus is grabbing those details from the previously-set definition and using them (or trying to) under that setting. Just a thought - I'd be surprised if it was.
