We have been using Pegasus for almost 2 decades now.

Our hair is getting greyer by the day; not because of any intrinsic

problems with Pegasus ( which we sponsor) but because there appears to

be no thought given to file corruption, re-indexing or file

administration.

There is the utility MBXMAINT.exe that comes with v4.5 that will allow you to repair, reindex and compress users folders.  This must be done when the user is not running the program nor accessing the folders in any way.

FWIW, I do not know how to import mail from "Mailbag Assistant", does it have any sort of export capability??

You're absolutely right I had T(to) move to ?????? in Mail Filtering Rulles.

Thank you very much.

Try opening an app like Microsoft Word and in a new document do a "Paste Special"  which should list all the data stored in the clipboard and its format.

A reboot should clear the Clipboard.   As for the problem it is likely bad Html not following the protocol for paste'ing Html.

It's all a lot easier to do: Just open the clipboard application (used to be in the Accessories folder of the Start menu, the excutable is [Drive]:\WINDOWS\system32\clipbrd.exe which you may start via Run command or in a console window if no shortcut is available): It has a menu (View?) listing all available formats of the clipboard contents and also provides an Edit menu for clearing etc. - no need to reboot anything or use non-default applications ...

I did not know that Gmail allowed that. I'll try changing my account settings when I have the time.

 

I'm using the address that my provider (NTT OCN) supplied to me when I signed my first contract with them. I never used it before because of the clunky interface, but it's nice to know that it came in handy now.

Too easy!! Thx

corrected. deleted file state.pmj and all good.

We nornally only see this problem if the drive, in our case x: is not mapped.  You need to check each system which is trying to access email to ensure your I drive is mapped to the right place or edit to use the URL instead and Thomas suggested.  I do  not think we have seen this specific message as a result or incorrect permissions but that is certainly worth a check too.

Still looking for some help with this. I would like to make sure i have the install done correctly before proceeding.

 

Hi.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

We are running Netware 6.5 (OES2) servers, but using Pegasus only for POP/SMTP mail through our webmail client. When the user tries to run Pegasus, the splash screen appears, then go away without ever opening. We found one way to fix it was to re-install Windows, but that is not a great fix.

Today, I had another user call about their Pegasus not working. It’s doing the same thing that the other users were reporting. On this particular machine, I had just installed Microsoft networking in order to share out printers. When I uninstalled Microsoft networking, Pegasus worked. When I re-installed Microsoft networking, Pegasus didn’t work again. Is there some problem between Netware and Microsoft networking that would not allow this to run correctly?

 Thanks!

I had a similar problem on windows XP with Pegasus 4.61, eating up most of the CPU power. Now the fan comes to rest again.

In the german version it is: Extras -> Einstellungen -> Erweiterte Einstellungen -> Windows Internet Services laden -> immer.

 

Thanks for the help

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.
