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

[quote user="David_himself"]I guess we'll never know what was wrong with the old installation.[/quote]

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, ....

 If anyone receives a  new mail ( a *.cnm file ) that is Zero in file

size the program immediately crashes through windows, it does not matter

what version of windows the client is running.

The zero byte file crash is caused by Spamhalter.  Checkout http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/community_add-ons_for_pegasus_mail/entry23105.aspx

Pegasus Mail uses proxy servers all the time.  The products AVG and Norton AV set themselves up between Pegasus Mail and the ISP server in order to do AV checking when downloads of email messages are required.

The error I keep getting has to do with authentication.  No matter how I

change the security settings, it always bombs.  CenturyLink support is

no help.  Earthlink is no help.  Can YOU help me, please????

Right-click on the folder and then select 'Recover deleted space'.

Cheers!

The space below the folder list is not wasted if, like most people, you have a long list of folders. Many of us probably have no space.

Form your description of what you're looking for, perhaps another e-mail program called The Bat! is what you want. It's very good but it is NOT free.

The clipboard is a shared resource which can be unavailable for new content when an ill-behaved app doesn't release it properly.  Also, it might not work if there are inadequate system resources.  Neither of these scenarios sound likely but are easy to test by cold booting then testing the copy/paste functions while only running Pegasus Mail and Notepad.

I found a solution by myself. I deleted the too big *.cnm and *.pcx file in the admin folder. Now the system works again.

Sorry for bothering you.

In german PM452 it's corrected to B ... have a look on englisch version

so long    Olaf

Hello everybody,

I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your help! A friend of mine with the help of the posts and emails from another user resolved the problem (don't ask me what he did, I gave up and just let him do it). 

I use it but with Pegasus installed on a 32 bit system, over the network.

However: Pconfig.exe will not work with a 64 bit system. Otherwise it works fine.

 My ISP has a limit of sending a max of 25 emails at a time.

 My distribution list has about 60 emails in it. 

 I could split the DL into 3 lists to overcome the issue.

Another approach: Set up a Gmail account configured to add a custom 'From' address,

Gmail has a daily SMTP linit of 100 messages.
