Hello Michael,

[quote user="idw"]I don't think I understand: Does this mean you can create such a broken message deliberately?[/quote]

sorry for my easygoing writing: Of course I can't control the creation of these files. The files appeared in the queue after sending the normal mail. First notice of their existence is a look at the status bar.

[quote user="Thomas"]Erasing zero byte files from within the queue manager does not work, you need to

delete the actual zero byte files from the queue.[/quote]

Thank you Thomas for this advice. Just to clarify _my_ actual situation: This where no zero byte files but files of lots of zeros (all bits low).

Best regards
Wolfgang

Corrupted archived emails:

 On my email archive, when I try to open some of (what I thought were) my backed up emails, I get this message:

This message contains binary or non-textual data that cannot be previewed within Pegasus Mail.

Filename: ÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌ

You can work with this file in the message reader's 'Attachments' page.

The Attachments, Annotations and Raw View tabs are all empty.

 Is there any fix for this??

***************************************

Continual Re-indexing of Copy to Self folder required: 

On my Pmail setup, unless I re-index the Copy to Self folder, the last few copies don't appear. ONce its re-ndex the missing emails appear. Any hints on fixing this, on a permanent basis.

(The Copy to Self is not on the same system as the corrupted, archived material, referred above.)

 

As normal, any help to solve these two queries would be much appreciated.

 

 

 

 

Sorted it out.

I can't find a way to display jpg attachments within pegasus 4.41, whether the preview icon is clicked or not. I've set the options to "internal" for both extension and attachment info, but no joy. Any clues where I'm going wrong would be much appreciated.

 

 

Thanx for your advice, but Winsock is set to load "Always"!

Hope you have another one!

Then I assume that you have File  | Check host for new mail and it works to download the mail.  Select Tools | Options | Toolbars | Main window toolbar style | POP3 User

That worked .Thanks!

I have three other email addresses where this is not a problem. Also, I can log into Comcast.net and delete all the inbox messages after one get new mail on Pegasus, but that does not seem to help. Lythande's answer below may be the solution, and I am going to go try it, if I can find the appropriate spot.

Hello Thomas R. Stephenson, I thank you very much for your help, you have solved my problem. It is kind of you to spend time helping others, it is much appreciated and long may you continue to do so.

Kind regards Stan.

I would suggest trying to compose text-only messages and see if that is any better. Check the box "Disable All text styling", in menu Tools/Options/Outgoing Mail/Message formatting.

> Is there any other tool that can read the pegasus-mail-file and transfer it to an imap-account?

Download Mercury/32 and install it on your computer.  You'll need to configure it with a default user account and copy your Pegasus mail account folder (probably c:\pmail\mail) to the default user account.  Make sure you install the IMAP module.  Test your setup within WinPMail, you should be able to create a new IMAP profile connecting to 127.0.0.1 and see your Mail folders.

Now download IMAPCopy:
http://home.arcor.de/armin.diehl/imapcopy/imapcopy.html

Configure it to copy from 127.0.0.1 to your IMAP Server remote account. These configuration settings are entered into the ImapCopy.cfg file.  Then run:

imapcopy.exe -s -e

the -e tells IMAPCopy to copy all folders, including empty ones and the -s tells IMAPCopy to subscribe you to any folders that are created on the destination.  When IMAPCopy finishes, you should have all your Pegasus Mail folders/messages moved to the IMAP Server.

Hi All

We have a strange problem with Pegasus mail.

System Windows 2000
Pegasus Mail 4.41

Under normal conditions everything works fine. We can send and receive and forward etc... We get emails from all over South Africa,Russia, all over Europe and India none of which cause any problems. 
But when we get emails from customers in the Middle East and North Africa We sometimes get a problem. NB! This only happens with a few of the emails and not all.

If we reply to an email we can type in text add attachments if needed and send (IE put in the Queue) the email. All is OK. Until we actually send the email.

At that point PM locks up. We also loose our Internet connection. Other PC's on the same network can still access the Internet and shared folders on the Windows 2000 PC.

Sometimes disabling the network connection and then enabling the network will restore full functionality. However most of the time we have to reboot the system. Occasionally the system locks up completely and we have to power off.

When looking at the Raw View of the bad emails I cannot see anything obvious that is causing the problem.( Not that I am an expert or know what I am looking at ) :-)

This currently only seems to be happening when we reply and not when we forward, but I need to verify this.

Are there any settings that I could be looking at for emails received from the Middle East? 

Thanks 
Peter

Am I doing something wrong here?

Yes, images from the windows copy/paste buffer are not the same as the images entered via the right click "Import picture file"  or the "Insert a picture" graphic icon. You'll get a low-res PNG file instead of the actual graphic type you used in the graphic.
[/quote]

Thanks, Thomas

Well, I can understand that, but what I do not understand is why the graphics are displayed so well using copy and paste when the mail message is being composed, and then the result is so poor in the version that is received. It's quite misleading when you think the recipients will see the same message that you see when you are composing it.

It would be useful if there was a warning message stating that pasted graphics will be converted, and that the quality may be affected.

Cheers!

Interesting.  I fired up wireshark

Cracked it!!

I am using AVG 8.0.238 Free and so is my friend; it is turned on for both sent and received messages.

I discovered that if an HTML message sent from Pegasus and received in OE6 was long enough for the AVG certification to be off-screen then, in reply (not in message view), the cursor would flash and after make a few minor text changes would lock up.  However, if the message was short enough for the display window in OE6 to include the AVG certification then there was no problem at all.  

My next test was to disable AVG for email checking and this was fine in OE6.

On inspection of the two received messages I noticed that the one with AVG turned on had ALT Boundary statements added with the certification (I do not understand quite how these statements work yet but I presume they are related to HTML/Text boundaries).   With the message that was causing the cursor to flash, as soon as I hit reply in OE6 I went straight to the end of the message and deleted the certification plus the horizontal line (presumably resulting from the ALT Boundary statement).  The cursor remained rock solid.

 So I thought, how can I keep the AVG checking but not have the certification?  Not having explored all the AVG settings I was, until an hour ago aware of the some of the controls available in AVG, I found:

  Tools | Advanced Settings | E-mail Scanner | E-mail scanning | Certify e-mail     I unticked both, resent the message and again The cursor remained rock solid.

So where is the failing?
1.  It isn't in the way outgoing OE6 messages are handled by AVG as I have sent the same message and received in OE6 with AVG on without a problem. 

2.  Is it the structure of outgoing Pegasus messages and the way in which they interface with AVG?

3.  Is it the way in which AVG handles Pegasus messages either outgoing, incoming or both?

4.  Is it the way OE6 handles ALT-Boundary statements in Pegasus messages in Relpy mode?

Whatever, I have found the work-around but it isn't the solution - Turn off AVG Certification!
I hope this isn't too long-winded but it might serve others who may decided to analyse the issue deeper.
Mike

Thanks for the quick response. 

I had previously increased the timeout, obviously that had not worked.  I have now followed your suggestions on the MTU and hopefully that will take care of things. 

I guess time will tell if this takes care of the problem.

Thanks again.

In pconfig I can see under standalone, the location of the moved mailbox in drive I: on both Home mailbox and New mailbox. I have changed the location of the new mailbox to drive I: in the INI file on all positions but still Pegasus use the "old" mailbox on C:. What to do more?

[quote user="Bender123"]I'm using P mail since early 90's and collected some 10000 mails with all kind of enclosures & attachments

I wonder whether there is a possibility to extract automatically all of these & store them in there format

There is a filter that will allow you to extract attachments to a file in a specific directory.  You could create a general rule set to do this and attach it to each folder you have  That said, I'm not sure this is what you want to do.  I suspect what you are really asking is "How can I extract all the attachment to a directory and then delete them from the message".  This can only be done when the message is in the new mail folder and this is done manually.  Now someone may have written a utility or extension to do this but even if they have it would have to be done when the message is a separate CNM file.

I've searched faqs & knowledge base

thanks for an answer or a link

Thank you very much. It was the environment variables that were wrong. problem solved.

Thanks. That might have been it!

 I have many folders, and use Copy-to-self filtering rules to place the copies of my replies to the appropriate folders.

Some of my folder names appear in green, showing they contain emails which have not been read. Most of these emails are copy-to-self copies of already sent replies. It is strange however that there are other folders which names are in normal black, and can see that all of the copy-to-self copies of my replies placed into these folders had already automatically been set to "has been read" status, despite I've never opened and read them.

 Which way can I automatically set all my reply copies to "has been read" status ?

 Peter
