Thanks Thomas, already reduced to editing .pmo's. It does the job, but is rather inelegant.....end users in my small office now have to give me a list of what needs changing.

I guess this really is a (albeit small) bug.

See Cannot name saved message drafts thread. Editing .pmo seems only workaround at the mo.

Yes there is little privacy once anything goes to the Internet (be it e-mail [was an Sysadmin for 22 years], Social sites [expected to be non private], webpage etc).

Google Mail privacy?!?

A ReadWriteWeb piece up on the NY Times site explores the recent glitch during the move of a number of colleges onto Google's email service that allowed a number of students to see each others' inboxes for a period of more than three days. Google would not give exact numbers, but the article concludes that about 10 schools were affected.

It seems likely that many of the more popular mail clients format their

receipt requests to match that of Microsoft products in an attempt to

follow the de facto standard. While I am not certain, I believe that Pegasus does not do this (please don't shout at me if this is untrue!).

You can always hit the "Special" tab and add the following header to the message.  It may or may not provide any help since most people are now turning off receipt requests to keep the spammers from confirming e-mail addresses.

X-Transcript-To: <email@address>

There is also the extension called headers that you can use to always add this to your messages.

HEADERS.DLL
X-Header Extension for Pegasus Mail (win32)

Automatically adds 4 extra message headers to outgoing
messages.
Also works with the Identities feature of Pegasus Mail 3.0 and later.

I don't think I replied to this from Thomas.

Thanks Thomas, I think that is exactly what happened.

Still struggling through the deleting process after all this time! But now my backups synchronize deletions too, so hopefully it won't happen again.

Cheers!

Many thanks. I just knew it had to be something obvious ...

The files were restored only from a backup. There are a couple of servers and neither had any mails left in the inbox.

If you send to an address with "@domain.com" then Pegasus must assume that it may not be a local address and will send it to whatever SMTP server is designated. The server will then decide what is local or not. So the answer to your question is yes.

If you are wanting to let Symantec do all your email checking then you need to read their help documentation on how to setup POP3 and Smtp clients that work through Symantec.  You probably won't find any reference to Pegasus Mail, but there should be examples of how to set up Outlook Express, which requires similar setup.  BTW doing this in my opinion is not a good idea as you will likely have collisions between Sysmantec and Pegasus Mail both trying to read/write the same email message files at the same time..  Bettter to tell Symantec to ignore the POP3/SMTP processing and the Pegasus Mail file structure.  Any attachment that you try to open/save will get analyzed by the Symantec real-time monitor.

I suggest you open Windows Explorer and navigate to your NewMail directory. Then rename any files that end with .CNM.   Now try restarting Pegasus Mail. If that works then one of your renamed files is to blame.

[quote user="YatZeck"]Hi!

Using Publice Beta 1 there was no issue. Just after I had installed final version, problem appeared.

I have no printer installed:)

 That might be the problem since PMail checks for the printer to determine how to display the fonts.

Thank you very much.  That solves my problem and makes life a lot easier.

I'm sure this is a simple fix, but I am unable to make my "start a new mail message" window remain maximized.

Every time I click the icon to start a new message, the window comes up  with a scroll-bar over the far right edge of the window. I just run it up to the top and the 3 boxes at the top right-hand corner are revealed. I can maximize the window but it just seems that I should be able to make it start maximized without anything further.

I also remember some time back a similar question ended with some suggestions to effect all changes with the window NOT in the maximized state before exiting.  Upon restart, the window(s) should retain the change. I've tried opening and closing all windows in different variations of the non-maximized size but nothing seems to fix this problem with the write new mail window ... only.

Granted, this is not a big deal but it's the principle! ;-)  All other windows open maximized (if set this way before exiting Pmail) and the new mail window is the only one that won't stay upon restart.

I searched for previous inquiries on this subject and found something where Thomas Stephenson had suggested renaming the "STATE.pmj"  file in the HOME directory, which I did to no avail. (I'm guessing from the post's title that window sizing was the question.)

Any other ideas? I appreciate any and all tips to fix this nuisance. Thanks,

Robert

I'm in the UK so no AT&T. Also I don't use Yahoo Mail. However, I do see references to NEW Yahoo Mail and CLASSIC Yahoo Mail. I don't know the difference but perhaps your new account is under the new regime which has different servers or access policy? Just a thought seeing as nobody else has replied.

Michael: Right you are, but the speed for closing down has never bothered me (I think I've always given it some time before hibernating). Only why the executable get stuck...

Thomas: I see, of course thats another way to get rid of the deleted mails. I try not to close PM at all, then...

Thanx for quick answers... [:)]

You should set your default printer to one that is available, or maybe a PDF printer or Generic File printer (not sure what you have available in Win7)

It seems in such a way related to the html messages. When I receive html messages I right click the show images voice: sometimes it happens that Pegasus doesn't display the images.

Try setting Load Windows Internet Services ... to Always on Tools => Options => Advanced settings.

 [quote user="phoenixart"]

When I close it and restart it if I click again show images, Pegasus display correctly the images: but it also happens that it downloads the old messages those are on the server.

Now I've the folders full of duplicated emails :(

Sounds like a "silent crash" happens when closing Pegasus Mail.

I'll do so this afternoon - thanks for the answer :)

Hi Steffan,

I installed Oulook and also Eudora and I have configured both with no problems. receiving POP and sending emails all working fine so not sure why I'm having problems with Pegasus. And to be honest, I'm not sure I want to spend the time trying to solve it especially as the others work okay.

But I appreciate your help - thank you. Sue.

I've just updated to 4.51. Perhaps this is the reason I'm not sure but I've also just discovered the archiving method described here.

 The problem is that it doesn't work for me and I've tested this time and time again with the same results. In fact so many tests my head is spinning. :)

 Here is an example of one test.

 Start by creating by adding a new mailbox to the list. Enter a folder eg. E:\test1
 Copy any folder to the new mailbox and disconnect.

 Reconnect - it's fine.

 Simulate pulling the archive to my HDD. Put it somewhere else. D:\myarchive. It won't connect to this. In fact it won't connect to any folder other than the complete path it was saved to.

 I then try PMRestArch.exe to copy to another folder. This sometimes works. If it does I try to do it again to another folder. This doesn't work and what's more eventually the first copy fails.  Eventually the original fails to read (circumstances I'm unable to determine yet suffice to say in the course of creating other copies). Once the failure occurs there's nothing I seem to be able to do to correct it yet the orginal archive is intact due to zipping in the first instance.

I really can't figure out why it's happening or what triggers it to stop however, once it does I'll never get a reconnect ever again. I have to start the test from scratch.

In case the orginals were being written to I had protected them by zipping them so I could restore but this proved to be futile. So I'm guessing that what ever is happening is internally in Pegasus.

I really have little idea what's actually going on but it appears that this method is too unreliable to trust but I am getting to the point where I need to slim my database down - it has all my emails dating back to the mid 90s and getting large..

All I've been able to determine for sure is :

1) Without using PMRestArch.exe the folder that you archive to must be exactly the same as the one you restore to. Drive, path and filename.

2) PMRestArch.exe appears to allow a change of location but I can't do it more than once and it soon fails due presumably to something Pegasus is doing internally.

 Question is  if I've stumbled across a problem with this version of Pegasus. Can anyone confirm this unreliable behaviour using 4.51?

EDIT:

I've now found a way to connect to the archive which is reliable, albeit using a different method. The same archive that I can't connect to is still intact and readable using this method and the bonus is the Folder trays and structure are intact.

The way to do this is to connect as a different user. Use pconfig.exe

1) Restore your archive to a folder making sure read attributes are set on all files if it came from CD / DVD
2) Folder MUST be within PMAIL. eg. E:\Pmail\Archives. However, any folder drive is acceptable as long as it is within PMAIL
3) Run Pconfig and set the user to E:\Pmail\Archives and the newmail to E:\Pmail\~8
4) Run Pegasus and you will now see the archives intact

So far this appears to be 100% reliable
