I've just experimented with syslog.pm. Here's some info, though it may not be gospel and is definitely not helping with everything.

I suspect that the two versions of each, denoted by M and T, refer to the two different versions of the message that exist as Pegasus processes the sending. You may have heard of the "final form" message. This is where Pegasus takes the message you've submitted for sending and finalises it ready for delivery before initiating transfer to your SMTP server.

The NNYNNN section clearly refers to the selected options of the six boxes for Copy to self, Urgent, Confirm Reading, etc.

Your identity is also listed apparently (my syslog.pm said "default").

I tried to send to a couple of addresses and, to reproduce your error, included a period rather than a comma between the two recipient addresses. I immediately received a delivery failure message that said "553 Invalid address syntax". Neither address received the message. Your example had several recipients so perhaps all but the first two *did* get the message.

Ah, yes. That did FF. :)

Thanx, guys!

Success!!!

 I'm very grateful. Thank you.

Yes I did.

Anyway, I took a backup, deleted state.pmj and it looks like all my settings regenerated just fine, so I think I'll leave it at that.

 I think this happened when my display driver went wonky -- windows gave me an error message about the driver not responding correctly anymore, and defaulted to something like 640x320 resolution. I'm guessing that when the screen redrew and Pmail had to render the list for that size, it could only fit in the From column, and dropped the others when I exited.

 Is there any chance that's what happened? It's the only unusual behavior on my PC I can remember that corresponds at all to the time I lost the other columns

Thanks

That helped, along with fixing the printer setup. Apparently pmail is very sensitive to the status of the printer?

Username should be the name of the folder in which your mail is kept. Usually has no more than 8 letters in it.

For example, in the folder structure below, 'admin' (without quotes) is the username:

    c:/pmail/mail/admin

Hello again Thomas,

Since my last entry I discovered an old reply of yours dated 11/09/2007 (How to migrate Pegasus)

In which you sugested the drive letter may have to be changed, I did this adn everything works fine.

Many thanks for your help, 

Regards Paul

I would like to suggest an alternative solution, independent of OS version, which you can ignore if you have found an alternative.

The procedure to export Outlook Contacts and import them to Pegasus Mail address books is as follows:

1. In Pegasus Mail set up a new address book, I suggest a name of Outlook

2. Download PMVcard from this site from url http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/pegadd/entry44115.aspx

3. Unzip the downloaded file (pmvcard.zip) into your Pegasus Mail NewMail directory

4. In Outlook (or similar software), export the Contacts file in vCard format to a file such as Outlook.icf in the same directory as 3 above

5. In Windows Explorer drag/drop the file created in 4. over the file, PmVcard.exe

6. You should now see a formatted display of the vcards created by Outlook, at the end of this display you should see an instruction to import this tab-delimted file into Pegasus Mail 

7. In Pegasus Mail click the Address book menu, and select the "Import from tab-delimited file" choice with file just created.

8. Click OK to begin import. After a few seconds the program PMVcard will end. You can now restart Pegasus Mai and view the address book, Outlook (see 1, above)

9. Browse through the entries, and edit where obvious issues show up. 

 10. I recommend you read the documentation (Pmvcard.rtf) to identify issues and workarounds.   It is important to understand that neither PMVcard or any other software (ie Dawn) can make use of most of the data stored in Outlook.   The person's name and email address are the all-important data values. Other data such as postal address and Telephone device numbers and types are information only. There is a reference to the RFC concerning VCARD stream content in my documentation. You should note that vendors are very liberal in their interpretation of the RFC rules.

I hope this may help.  Please note that when Pegasus Mail V5 is made available, that most of the issues will be resolved and the Pegasus Mail Address Books will look more like Contacts file content.

It is now necessary to change your password, because you have shown everybody your mail password. (8 characters long)

Had this happen a while back. Try rightclick on the folder and rebuild the index.

In case David has noticed this thread, Novell released "Novell Client 2 SP1 for Windows 7 (IR1)" which fixes a problem with locking databases.  However, with the new client installed, using Pegasus 4.52 in a Netware environment, I am unable to move messages into or between folders unless I continue using the older "Novell Client 2 for Vista".

> Transend seems to have migrated my messages and folders/mailboxes in that C:/pmail/mail now contains .PMI and PMM folders. However, the

When doing the migration first do a Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info in Pegasus Mail and note the HOME mail directory.  Then when Transend asks for a directory specify the HOME mail directory.  Make sure Pegasus Mail is not running when you do the transfer.

If the folder files (*.PMI/*.PMM) are already in the HOME mail directory then try  the following procedure.  This has worked for several others to restore the functionality of the  message folders:    

1.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info to determine your mail
    directory.  Exit Pegasus mail.

2.  Rename the file HIERARCH.PM in your HOME mail directory to
    HIERARCH.SAV.

3.  Run WinPMail.  Your HIERARCH.PM will be re-created and should
    start working correctly.

Note:  This will delete any tray structure you have created and it
           will have to be recreated.  The process will not affect any
           mail of mail folders you have, it only affects the display of
           the folders.    

OK, that worked.

I reinstalled 4.51, the same version I'd been using, in the same place: C:\PMAIL so it was C:\PMAIL\Programs

I copied over the backed up MAIL file: C:\PMAIL\MAIL

And that was that...

Thanks.

You do not use "Add mailbox to list" to add identities, you do this to point at directories containing mail files (*.cnm files) and folders (*.PMM/PMI file pairs).  You you need to use the same path to the directory and name for the mailbox you used when you first added it when  you restore the mailbox after closing it.

This only moves the current mail folders to a different structure.

Do you see a tiny dropdown button next to 'Reply'? If you click it, it will show you three options at the bottom of the fold-out menu, saying 'Button does...'. You can set that to Reply-all, if you want.

Turn on session logging, and look in the log to see what is happening.

You have NOT provided anything but a partial greeting string from the server you are connecting to.

There is something wrong with your settings but without the full log it is not possible to know what.

> the usr file is in mail\admin

PMAIL.USR should be placed in mail\, not in mail\admin...

Using version 4.52 with Win 7 pro. I have previously migrated Pmail from two XP machines to Win7 machines as one of the advantages is easy transfer of the mail folder. No problem with either and the icon issue in Win7 is solved with 4.52 . I have now attempted another migration in exactly the same procedure and have virtually unreadable font in mail folders message list columns. I have tried copying the fonts from a machine which is working well, using the .ini file from a good configuration, clean installs and update installs.Changing the display font size has no effect. I have read Davids' explanation elsewhere but have not found any fixes posted. Has anyone come up with the solution?

Thanks Dilbert,

 That explains a lot, I'll get working on setting up Mercury as our mail server and accessing from eth various workstations through IMAP4.

 All very exciting...
