Dear Sharkfin,

Thank you for your reply and explanation.

May contact you by email for further solution.

I'll do the search and read.

Thanks.

 

Ok, I finally discovered that the attachment control (paperclip icon) on the left in the message viewer does not have the same functionality as the control (paperclip icon) on the right side of the viewer; the one on the right opens an attachment viewer in a separate window and it includes tabs and buttons beyond those presented by the control on the left.  This isn't really orthogonal - why are there two controls?  Anyway, I can now preview attachments by using the other control and the previously mentioned buttons, together with the 'raw mode' which I couldn't find earlier, are presented. Thanks for the replies.

Thanks, that makes sense. The sending client is a 3G cellular router

(sends me reports on various events), and now I've sent the

manufacturers a query about this problem. I'm guessing that when/if the

message has a  Date: field in the header then the discrepancies I'm

seeing in different folders will likely just go away.

The Date: field is a required field in a message and the mail client is supposed to generate it.  If the server being used by the sending system is a Mail Submission Agent (MSA) many times the server will add this field. You might try using a different SMTP host setting in the router.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A mail submission agent (MSA) is a or software agent that receives electronic mail messages from a mail user agent (MUA) and cooperates with

a mail transfer agent

(MTA) for delivery of the mail. It uses a variant of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

(SMTP), as specified in RFC 4409.

Many MTAs act as an MSA as well, but there are also programs that are

specially designed as MSAs without full MTA functionality. Historically

in Internet mail, both MTA (acceptance of

locally-destined mail from other domains) and MSA (acceptance of

submitted mail from local users) functions were both performed by MTAs

using the same protocol (SMTP).

Separation of the MTA and MSA function produces several benefits:

One benefit is that an MSA, since it is interacting directly with the

author's MUA, can correct minor errors in a message's format (such as a

missing Date, Message-ID, To fields, or an address

with a missing domain name) and/or immediately report an error to the

author so that it can be corrected before it is sent to any of the

recipients. An MTA accepting a message from another site cannot reliably

make those kinds of corrections, and any error reports generated by

such an MTA will reach the author (if at all) only after he has already

sent the message.

 

I am trying to make an email newsletter with a table of contents and a

body.

My goal is to make it so if you click on an item in

the table of contents then it would directly take the reader to that

part of the email. In other words, a link that doesn't lead to another

website but just another part of the email.

You need to generate this newsletter in HTML to do this.   Personally though I really do not see this as something you would really want to do in the body of the e-mail message since this would not be handled all that well by many e-mail clients.  I would do this offline and then add it as an attachment.

 

 

Nice....by selecting the cell and then clicking on the little Table link, I can add a splash of color.

Should work perfectly!!!!

Thanks for your help!

There is an extension, NewsMail, to obtain NNTP digests, located on the Community site,

see Url: http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/utils/entry9716.aspx

There is also an extension to post to NNTP service, but it depends on NewsMail, so I will leave that for another day.

Both problem are caused by the same bad hierarch.pm file.  You cannot have duplicate folders in the hierarch.pm.  Try the following utility on the folders.

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 for the reply.

For all of the many years I've been using Pegasus I never noticed the address book import/export before.

Peter

I don't think so, currently. You may be able to do more with a policy, or a maybe even a daemon.

It would be nice if the filtering engine was improved a bit to include this ability, and substitutions etc. :)

I don't expect it to happen soon, but it may be more doable after the new filestore mechanism is in place.

Is there a checkbox for stopping Pegasus auto-checking for updates?

All PMail is doing is reading the pmail.ini file and if the PMail ini file has got the line saying this is a new install it will trigger this response.  Something on you system is changing the file, what I do not know.   This is not PMail that is doing this. 

[quote user="Chris-SA"]Michael ,

Well I went and looked around a bit

What did I find ?

Well all that happened is that I re-discovered why I started using Pegasus in the first place.

Unfortunately having started with it ,  with mothers milk so to say ,  I am completely hooked.

Hi Chris-SA

What about reverting to the older version of Pegasus?  I appreciate it isn't the latest release etc but if it works then why not stick with it?  I presume you kept a copy of the files etc before upgrading...

Andrew

 

Thank you very much for your assistance.  Your suggested fix did solve the problem.  I very much appreciate your help and your quick response.

[quote user="Tamara"]

I downloaded Pegasus 4.52  for the the first time. Worked great for about 2 hours with my Windows 7. Then got error message:

"A problem caused the program to stop working. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I have not been able to access Pegasus since. When I try to open it, I first get the message "The mailbox you are attempting to access appears to be locked." then it says again "A problem caused the program to stop working. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."[/quote]

This is most probably caused by a broken HTML message in you new mail folder (probably spam). To solve this you need to locate your new mail folder on your system which usually is something like [Drive:]\[Pegasus Mail Path]\MAIL\[Username]. New mail messages are stored in files with the CNM-extension, you can just move them (temporarily) to some other folder to find out whether Pegasus Mail can be launched ok afterwards. If so you may move back message after message to find out which one actually crashes Pegasus Mail when trying to open it. BTW: You can view such messages in your system's simple text editor, if required.

If this does not solve your issue there may be some corrupted configuration file involved whcih needs to be figured out then ...

Thanks Jerry. Much obliged.

I can not send Mails using SMTP with SSL to AOL. (AOL provide SSL)

Here is the session log:

--- Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:28:09 ---
Connect to 'smtp.de.aol.com'

port 587, timeout 30.

I do not seem to have any problems making a secure connection via port 25 or 587.  I tried them both.  I set the SMTP to use STARTTLS so it's using TLS and not SSL.

[quote]2.  Previously I was able to drag and drop attachments into the file

attachment window when creating a new message.  Since the upgrade this

no longer works.  I have to go through the Add Attachment button and

follow the prompts.[/quote]

I'm having the same problem - but I've got my installation in c:\pmail\programs and my data files in a folder on D: 

[/quote]

This is most probably another UAC issue, i.e the data files folder has different access rights than the copy of Pegasus Mail you're running.

Thank you very much, you have been extremely helpful.

Hi Aderoy, your workaround has also been suggested by Gianluca in an IMAP thread. I just checked my IMAP profile, which I haven't used for a while, and saw that mine was already set to delete messages to the local deleted messages folder. It's no biggie for me, though. I don't depend on IMAP or anything.

Cheers!
Steffan

 

Can't see that being the issue as I have been using Pegasus for years on

my XP machine. My rights have not changed.

 However when you changed to Win7 there is a whole lot of differences in the rights than there is in WinXP.
