I think that it is the only setting get lost.

I'm using Windows XP.

May be this misbehaviour  is been caused because a great number of mail folders?

You probably should have posted this in the Pegasus forum, not the Mercury forum, but no matter.

There are a couple of options available to you. When you create a new folder in Pegasus, you can choose to create a 'Unix Mailbox Folder'. If you do this and transfer your messages into that folder, you can later have Thunderbird import that Unix-style folder directly.

Alternatively, I've found in the past that saving an individual message as a .txt file (right-click and choose Save message data to file) but then changing the filetype to .eml makes that message readable by any of the main clients.

If the top of the column was changed to To instead of From then the normal messages that are showing the From address would be wrong and you could not tell from the message entry.   One way or the other the column headers is going to be wrong unless you never put a copy to self in another folder or a regular message in a copy to self folder.  

The solution of adding the To: to the address in the From column was the only rational solution.

What we have now is a perfectly acceptable solution given the fixed nature of the columns in a message list (and is a quirk that I actually quite like), but a future version of Pegasus badly needs to include the ability to customise which columns are on display as well as show the full details (truncated subject lines?). This may perhaps be included as part of the current re-write of the foldering system, I don't know.

As I said, personally I enjoy the "To:" prefix, but I do wish that I could add other columns to the view and I definitely think that it's a reasonable expectation of users.

I'm not sure the ultimate solution for this. I'm going to chalk it up to trying to run pmail in a non-standard environment.

 What I found as a workaround was to use the option to cascade my windows in pmail and I could then get the folder to reappear. It will still disappear again at some point in my usage but that's a good enough workaround for me.

 Thanks for the help.

You have lost you hierarch.pm file. Exit Pegasus Mail,  restore it from backup to replace the hierarch.pm in your home mail directory.  When you run Pegasus Mail you will find most of the folder/tray structure is restored.

If you don't feel familiar with English there's a as well.

It's most probably an access rights issue, but it's rather hard guessing if you don't provide any details on what exactly doesn't work? You may need to put the main mailbox directory in a place where it can be accessed by all users, on Windows 7 (don't know about Vista) "Öffentliche Dokumente" ([X]:\Users\Public\Documents) could be a proper place.

[quote user="bojkas"]I have the same problem.

Have you already solve this problem?[/quote]

Get the , and - if having IE 9 installed - immediately update IERenderer after setting up the new version.

Thanks for replying, I appreciate it.

It's New Year's Day January 1, 2014 and I woke up with the same mystery "bad omen."  Thank you so much for the great help. Now my "bad omen" is vanquished.. Yay!

It can be done manually.  You can create a folder containing both the new mail and copies to self by copying the mail to a "Link" folder.

Pegasus Mail Link Folders

Link Folders are a specialized type of folder that can contain references to messages in any other folder in the system. Link Folders do not themselves actually contain messages - they only contain "links" to the messages in the folders where they are actually stored. Pegasus Mail uses Link Folders primarily to store the results of folder searches, but you can also create them yourself if you wish - for instance, you may find them useful as "to-do" lists. A Pegasus Mail Link Folder is a single file with the extension .PNL.

MS Outlook marks up the sender text in blue, as a standard. This can be changed too. Any way, a good number of people asked me to make messages look like Outlook as much as possible so they look alike when printed off. Hence the option.  The default is back to black now that a number of people have said "Not me" This is included in the soon to be generally released  Bearhtml 4.6.7.

Thanks to both of you for responding. I saw your EnableOpsLocks suggestion in another message before I posted, but when I get down to MRXSMB in regedit, I don't see "parameters", so I can't follow the instructions. Maybe that registry entry is different under Vista. I'll research this some more.

 In any case, I have been able to get reasonable performance when I keep the current folders that mail automatically sorts messages to small (e.g. less than 3000 messages). This makes Pegasus usable again.

I share your opinion of Vista, but I'm definitely not upgrading to Windows 7. My home-built computer is old enough that I'll just retire it and build or buy a new one with Windows 7.

Thanks!

I have checked my Pegasus setups and none of my POP3 settings have anything setup in the "Download Controls" tab - no size limits, message limits, filters... My ISP server doesn't have any mail "left behind". I haven't noticed the problem on my accounts for a while, so it probably isn't a problem now.

I'll check the settings on my friends laptop when I see them...

Thanks for the clues.

[quote user="Eric Ferguson"]Clicking on the Pegasus "setup info" still produces the Windows warning "Why can't I get Help from this program?".

How can I get the setup info file to run? [/quote]

For some unknown reason this dialog keeps on coming up when updating and you cannot access help during the setup process, but afterwards all works fine (the non-English versions require it, hence I know) - just proceed ignoring it.

If the message has an html version (click view button to change the message view type Plain/Fancy), then try Shift + Ctrl + P keys, to use Bearhtml printing service

Thanks, Thomas:  100% clear now.

Thanks for your reply.  I do go to that menu and check it, and it was because I was that I realized there was a problem:  the list under the distribution lists tab has a stack of names that I did not put there and differ from that in the menu you mention.  Perhaps there's a leftover from an earlier version of pmail?

Hello Thomas,

thanks for your explanation. I will try it later.

BTW: I'm using PMail since about 10 years I think. A short while ago I saw that the handling of brackets in alias here has changed in the mid of 2007. Before this time alias is shown in the full length regardless of round brackets.

Best regards
Wolfgang

Too bad with regard to debugging, but I'm glad you found a solution at least ...

You should downgrade from V4.52 to the fully translated v4.51 DE and after that use only the updater: w32-452u.exe. Then you can use Pegasusmail V4.52 in german. This will keep your personal settings, mails, ....
