I have not posted it yet. I will share the documentation giving its functions, and if there is interest I will publish it shortly.

Many thanks David, MailStrip is just the job, found it on Softpedia.

HTML is not a problem as the messages I'm exporting are all (thankfully) plain text, but noted for future reference.

 Thanks again.

For no reason I can determine, my telltale window pops up telling me the total number of messages in my new mail folder, rather than the number of new unread messages which it always used to.

I may be mistaken but AFAIK Pegasus has never done that. A colleague of mine has her new mail window open all day and, according to her telltale window, she ends up with dozens of new messages at the end of a workday, while only a few of them are actually new, unread messages. Personally, I prefer opening and closing the new mail folder to keep a clearer view of what is actually new -- and to allow the new mail filtering rules I have configured to do their work but that's a different story.

I apologize if this has already been answered. My Pmail V451 has some difficulty forwarding message with editing. Even though Rich-text box has been checked, after editing my forwarded message usually has a much smaller margin than the original wide margin message. I have checked and unchecked every box in the forwarding menu to see if that changed/corrected anything. It doesn't. Along with a small margin often the forwarded message has a smaller font and different picture colours than the original. I experimented with Mozilla Thunderbird and I was able to forward mail in the same format as the original.There were no changes to margins, fonts, colours, etc. Is this a problem with Pmail or have I not set something up properly? With dialup I appreciate Pmail's ability to selectively download mail but the changed format when forwarding causes some annoying issues at the receiving end.

 

Many thanks.

Thank you, yes I tried the "Add mailbox to list" trick already and it

gave me a mailbox with "New Mail Folder" in it and nothing else.

Strange, this should show the PMM/PMI files that are in that directory as folders UNLESS they are copies of the current folders.

The search you suggested turned up nothing. What should I do now?
Find the folders.

Yes, I was able to address the problem by configuring Pegasus to call the 32 bit version of IE, instead of the 64 bit version.

 Under Tools | Options | Incoming Mail | Hyperlinks go to the "Web Browser Command Line" field and enter:

C:\Programs Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe 

(Or browse to it if your file structure is different)  Be sure that "Find Browser Automatically" is NOT checked.

Ok I assume that you are only putting single messages into this users directory since read-only folders have never been possible in any version of Pegasus Mail.

That said, I archive messages (*.CNM files) to read-only CDROMs and mount them with "Add mailbox to list" without any problems reading the messages at all.

Which file points to the location of the email folders that is supreme that causes this trashing an rewriting to happen.

1.  The utility pconfig.exe is used to modify the pmail.cfg file which holds the specification for the home and new mail directories.

2.  The file hierarch.pm holds the listing of the files and trays.  

3.  In an older setup where the user has been running since v2.x there are PMT files that are used to build the initial hierarch.pm.  The files should be removed.

The program basic structure is

c:\pmail[\programs]                                     the program files  

c:\pmail\mail                                               the file pmail.usr which holds the user data

c:\pmail\mail\username                                the users default home and new mail directories.

How about providing us with a copy of your pmail.ini file and the help | About Pegasus Mail | Info for analysis.

If you are using Excel, make sure you have closed Excel before attempting to mail it, Excel maintains a file lock until the file is released by closing it.

Martin, doesn't your fix this issue, i.e. can you email files from within Excel this way (I don't use MS Office so I can't tell myself)?

Gmail ignore the selektive mail download command. When you contact the mailserver over pop3 then it could happen that the mails on the server are deleted. You should create a new identity in Pegasusmail with the same server setups except the field "user name" in the pop3 settings.

Username: example_your_name@googlemail.com

must be replaced with

recent:example_your_name@googlemail.com

This means you must add the "recent:" part only in your username ( mailadress )in the server pop3 settings.

I don't know for certain about the i7 processor, but I am running Pegasus v 4.51 under Vista 64.  It runs fine for me with only one problem (about which I was actually coming here to search when I saw your post).  I'll mention it her, but it may already be answered elsewhere.  If not, I'll post it as a separate inquiry...

When I click on a link to a website from within Pegasus mail, the link operates fine.  But when I close Pegasus, it generates an error saying "This program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of Windows."  There isn't a 64-bit version of Flash yet, so even installing the 32 bit version didn't seem to help.  The error doesn't seem to actually cause any problems - it's just confusing, especially if there's an extended delay between when you use the browser and when you close Pegasus.

Unfortunately there is a known bug with the stationery at present. There are a few related threads a few pages back in the forum.

I haven't checked but it may be worth your while reinstalling the previous version of Pegasus if you really need these files. Whatever you do, don't trash those files, clearly they are fine if you used them before - it's Pegasus that has changed.
