Thank you Thomas that seems to have fixed the problem

:)  I discovered the answer myself:

/tools/options/content viewers

 Add MP3 as a filetype in the content viewers and either let windows choose the player or browse for your prefered player program.  After this, if you open the attachment then double click on the MP3 attachment, it will play in the player.

OK, what's it - 15 years with Pegasus and I didn't know about the link icon *sigh*

We learn something new everyday, even about you closest friends.  May that's why people stay married.  ;-)  This is basically a HTML problem.  The link in HTML must be very specifically formatted or it does not show.  If yuo always send plain text it's not a problem even with the HTML mailers, but we can't always send plain text can we.  Of course here we always send HTML so I have tyo go through the process of typing the URL, copying it, hit the "Link" icon in this editor and pasting the link twice into the link editor to get a clickable link.   i.e.

Port 25 may be blocked at your work.  Try the Telnet test.  If it times out with a connect failed message than port 25 is probably being blocked.  Businesses may do this to help insure no internal machines can function as spam bots.

Thank you! I started rebuilding the folder structure.

[quote user="cynist"]Thanks for the heads up.  From your experience with ClamAV would you suggest waiting for about 6 months after each new release before upgrading?[/quote]

Errr..what?! Surely not! Why would someone want to wait for 6 month after a new release of a virus scanner before installing it? Besides that version 0.94.2 which you appear to run was released merely 4 month ago and has nothing to do with the official ClamAV page. The ClamAV dev team has indeed stopped supporting the Win32 platform since version 0.92.1 but that means binary releases (and completely dropped support for Cygwin versions).

As for ClamWall there's unfortunately nothing I can do. Lukas is aware of the issue with 0.95 but didn't look into it yet. As it seems many applications which connect to ClamD's socket have problems since 0.95, such as ClamWall or ASSP (aka Perl's File::Scan::ClamAV module), but the changes to the stream protocol are all documented at the ClamAV page. Besides, as long as I get no feedback from the developer(s) of these applications I can't even tell what the problem is.

 

Best regards,

Nico

Issue resolved.  Thanks for the help.

AVG 8 by any chance?

[quote]All three say it sounds like an internal database error within the programme.[/quote]

That would be highly unlikely, even if the programme had an 'internal database'.  [:$]

Someone or something deleted your file.

The AV app dishing out vigilante justice on your data is a prime suspect. [:)]

Does the manual from David cover all this? If so, I'll seriously consider paying up.

Nope, editing of any of the config files in fact is discouraged.  You can download the manual and check it out yourself.  

Hi Aderoy,

 Thank you so much. Your suggestion worked like a charm. Renaming the .lck file removed the error message, and when I was removing the .cnm files I found one that was 12mb. Pegasus opened with no problems without this file, with it, it hung up. So, out with the 12mb file and I have all of my saved e-mails from March.

 Thanks again,

Jeff

1.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info and note all the
    directories.  This is the directory structure you want to
    backup.

2.  Use the Windows backup program to backup the entire
    structure. In the multiuser made this means you'll have to
    backup the top level structure to get all the user
    directories. You can simply ZIP these directories to a
    CDROM and restore on the other end as well.

3.  Restore this to the new computer.  


Note:

A.  If you are using a CDROM for backup make sure that the
    files did not get marked read only.  Use Explorer and check
    the file properties.

B.  If you changed drive letters then run pconfig.exe and
    change the drive letter of the home and new mail directory
    to match the new location. You also should check the
    Mailbox: line in the *.PND files and make sure it's blank.

After reinstalling Pegasus and having the problem reappear, I finally figured out what was wrong: I have a POP3 mail filter set to delete emails older than 1 day, this to allow me to download emails to my BlackBerry.

Apparently the emails I got were somehow older than 1 day and got deleted. So apparently that is not the correct way filter to use for my purpose.

I know create a combination POP3 filter that seems to work.

Condition 1: Rule Type Attributes > Is Marked as having been read set action as Logical AND
Condition 2: Rule Type AND Age > If older than 1 day Delete message on server

If anyone can confirm this is the right way, it would be great.

Thanks!

Agreed, highlighting messages can be tricky if you are altering the order as well - it's always best to double check the range before moving or deleting.

These are standard Windows controls in use here, but it does catch people out.

If you want to do a partial restore, you may have to manipulate separate messages through a new install.

Hey hey, running Peg as administrator seems to work like a charm.

 

 

yippeeee!!! it worked!! my Pegasus is back!! thank you so much!! [<:o)]

 die Welt ist wieder in Ordnung!!

Is this still hanging?  Try this:

1.  Locate your new mail folder (Help/About/Info) then close Pegasus Mail.

2.  Use Explorer to find the oversize message and move or delete it.

3.  Restart Pegasus Mail.

 

Is this all on the same computer?  I get this happening when I take my pen drive install to a new machine or if I change the setup on the server.  What IMAP server is it?  If it doesn't present the directory structure exactly the same  way each time then I could  understand this happening.

Yes, you have several options available to you here but the easiest might simply be to change the Pegasus shortcut so that it has

     "/I <your username>"

on the end (no quotes or brackets though e.g. /I Sharkfin). It will not change the mode Pegasus is in, but it will stop you having to "log in".

If you are having problems getting to sleep at night, here is some good reading on the subject.

I have reinstalled the program only with the gmail account and in fact the program crashes only when I use the send/reply button with the gmail account. However, it works fine if I only send, or only receive, which means that the settings must be correct.

I have tried, as you say, also to "send before receive" but no luck....
