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This causes problems when trying to view mail folders which have been archived by copying them to backup media.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.

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. 

I just checked, and I cannot read/open the messages. It says "This

message contains binary or non-textual data that cannot be previewed

within Pegasus Mail" You can work with this file in the message

reader's 'Attachments' page. When I go to the attachment page it is

empty. I thank you in advance for your help-Dave Seber

This sounds like the message does not exist.  What do you see in the raw view?  What do you see when you close and re-open the new mail folder.  

This looks almost like a POP3 account is connecting to the new mail directory, downloading and deleting the mail.  The delete message will still show in the new mail folder until it is closed and reopened.  The same thing can happen with a filter.

 

[quote user="Graham Hughes"]

I am getting this problem when deleting messages from my "New Mail" folder: "** Probable Invalid offset in index record".  I have read the help text but can'tsee how to re-index the New Mail Folder?  Any help greatly appreciated.[/quote]

It is probably the Deleted messages folder that has the problem.  Try reindexing that one.

I'm resuming this old thread just because I was hitting the wall tonight trying to forward a msg and I've found out that the queue window doesn't refresh when it come to forwards...

Hope this bug will be fixed in the next rel.

Over the past week or so I have posted several messages about finding

files. This is all due to switching to new computer (substantially

faster, etc) with windows 7 64 bit system. Still need to find some

"missing" mail folders. My question is; when I move an email message to

a folder, does that folder exist as a separate folder in Pegasus? If

so, are all the messages I have moved to a specific folder available

somewhere in the Pegasus file system in a discrete folder? Or are those

email messages somehow "marked"  so when I open that folder all the

email messages appear?

 PMail folders are a PMM (data) & PMI (index)  file pair in the Home mail directory or added mailbox.  The "missing" mail folders can be caused by a corrupted hierarch.pm, duplicate folders or read/only attributes to the files.
