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.

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...

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

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.

HAD COPIED LISTS TO WRONG FOLDER! Found the lists and moved them to pmail\mail\admin and then I could read them. I guess 25 years experience working with computers (started w/dos 1.1) really helps.

You can 'Save As' text and use as a template or import when composing.  I keep one directory for plain text 'exports' of a number of documents that are sent via email during the week.

Have used this for basic reports, or boiler plate documents. The document is generated in full format saved as OpenOffice and plain text formats. Can import the plain text for the email as required (File menu).

I'm running v4.52 and Mercury/32 v4.72 on WinXP and Win7 and I do not see any problems at all.

Thanks, Thomas,

Selecting Cascade brought the window into view - but now all the editing buttons have disappeared!! Not only in the filters window but also in the main File window too!!

Later addition

Panic over - fixed it!  Right click on toolbar and selecting Text Only brought up the button names. Then selected Text and Graphics - lo the buttons were back.

 

 

 

[quote user="dilberts_left_nut"]Have you got real time AV scanning on your mail files?

[/quote]

Naw, that's for newbs. I use my brain to avoid virii.  =D

Still getting the occasional crash, but have completely re-done all my folders and have imported all the old mail.  Have discovered some rather fun features as well, like the autofilters...  Been using Pegasus for like fifteen years and I've only just discovered them!  

The scrolling problem has existed for some time, and no immediate fix is likely. Forwarding of a web page is problematic, as web pages are not intended to be converted into email messages, formats are completely different.
