That's brilliant, many thanks! Making pdf printer a default has totally removed the slow functioning of Pegasus.

 IE is still somewhat slow, but that was by far the less annoying. Also I'll now have to figure out how to get round certain access programs only printing through the default printer, but that is much better.

At this point, your only hope is probably an  undelete utility.  Thomas can probably advise on a good one -- I haven't used one in so long I wouldn't know what to recommend.  But for future reference, if the sending person is commonly sending you important mail, I would advise setting a filter at the top of your filtering list to pull his/her mail into a separate folder before other rules fire.

But thanks to twitter, this might help:

First apologies because this has been covered a great deal but I still do not see an answer to the problem that I have. When I receive a message with numerous jpg attachments they can be viewed on the attachments page but only one at a time. They must be saved using the Save tab and to another folder OUTSIDE of Pegasus. From there they can be manipulated in the normal way.  I receive some mail with attachments which show in the Raw View that they are using HTML and the entire "code" for all pics.  In these messages all of the jpg pictures will appear embedded on first page with the text.  These appear to be coming from a program such as Outlook Express.  They can be forwarded without edit (bounce) and arrive at new location just as received.  I know  how to post pictures (one at a time) in Pegasus. But how can I select multiple jpg pictures and prepare them to arrive at destination embeded with the text?

 First of all when sending graphics they will always be sent as attachments even when sent as in-line graphics.  To embed graphics you must be sending MIME type messages and you insert the graphics with the right click "Import picture file" or hitting the icon with a picture in the editor.  This will insert the graphic at the location of the cursor.  You can insert as many as you want.  

I would recommend that you use the following formatting options though.

 1.  Tools | Options | Sending mail, uncheck "Send attachments as separate messages" and "Enable text file autodetection when
    sending attachments". Check "Don't add 'attachment information' sections to Multipart messages", and "Generate
    multipart/alternative versions of richtext messages"  

2.  Tools | Options | Messages and replies check "Use MIME features"

3.  Tools | Options | Message formatting uncheck everything under "Formatting and use of styling in messages"[/quote]

Okay. I've got it set to not download graphics by default, and I had a few email addresses listed as exceptions to the rule so they would show graphics. For now, I've stripped out all of the exceptions so that all messages start with no graphics by default.

 The graphic seems to be some sort of tracker graphic. Probably sent via https to prevent an outside entity from modifying it.

If you have a complex document to edit, it may be easier to use a specialised HTML editor to create the page - that way you will have more editing options available.

Problem resolved !

[quote user="Lythande"]You say you downloaded once, so I doubt this is the case, but since you also say you have three different email accounts which all suddenly stopped working (and assuming for the moment they're not all on the same server) and under the "let us not overlook the obvious" theory of completeness, did you happen to accidentally click the online/offline toggle icon?  Too many things point against this, but for the above reasons I thought I'd include it.
[/quote]

Lythande,

You are becoming too efficient, YES, I did check the OnLine/OffLine toggle on each of the different Addies.  They are all three on this one CPU using CMD/Line "Pegasus\Programs\winpm-32.exe -A -MS -I " with the individual NickNames.

 Excuse me, I am just being a little facetious.  I have over looked that before and this time I had made special effort to do just that.  CHECKed not just once but several times.  Also did take it OffLine and returned it to OnLine because there have been some strange happenings on this system.  My Shift key has reversed operations, pressed and get lower case and release get CAPS, it may have been the CAPS Lock may have changed function but the indicator light was Off.  CAPS without the shift key being pressed.  That lasted about 15 minutes then suddenly was back to normal.  This has occurred several times in the past 2-4 weeks.  NO, I am not asking you to troubleshoot other problems, all operations are back to NORMAL, or as normal as can be.  This is just an example of some of these strange happenings.

Thank you for this suggestion,

Is it coming from your machine or an external source that is forging your address?

If the latter, then there is nothing you can do about it.

Thanks

I have now reposted it in the correct place. I am not able to delete the whole thread here, though.

Hi

This is a strange one. Sometimes I will copy a hyperlink in an email to the clipboard and then paste it into the address bar of the browser. This usually works fine.

Today, I received an email from Dell with a link to updated firmware for a tape drive. I copied the link and pasted it into my browser (Internet Explorer 7), and the link was missing the domain name. When I hovered the mouse pointer over the link, the domain name is definitely there.

This is what Pegasus Mail displays when the link is displayed in the status bar:

But this is what is pasted:

http:///support/downloads/format.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R216654&ref=sdc_dlsource

which fails.

Not really a problem as I was able to solve it by adding the domain name. Does anyone know what happened here?

Just installed it & tried to reply to email or send a new email post I got a weird salad of the post. Upon keying in a punctuation (e.g. period or comma) it jumped to the left end of the line, & any typing added after that was there on the left too. The same effect happened to the quoted original post. Also the bullets appear to the right of the text.

I am using XP SP3 with English as default & Hebrew (which is RTL) as an optional alternate language. & when I type in Hebrew it types fine.

any ideas?

thanks

Thank you so very much Thomas.  It works.  Will do some reading as how to password.  What a great forum:)

There was a problem, however!

This turned out to be a problem on the server with some of the mails were under root ownership. Now been sorted.

Thanks

Ellie

This warning is for WINDOWS / IE stored passwords etc. and will not effect Pegasus mail. Also if you have just created "Harry" then there won't be any to loose. [:)]

Adding a password to the Administrator account is a very good idea anyway, and you should run as another user for daily use.

Save as a text file 

When saving messages as text files, there appear to be no headers saved?

Is there a way to at least include the Date of the email, and the To field, and possibly the Subject with the Save command?

If you save from the folder listing you get the entire message.  If I just want the limited headers I print to a file and select  "Print first line of significant headers"; pdf using CTRL+SHIFT+P for a formatted message, text for a plain text message.

Keywords 

How do you find, and sort messages with keywords? I can't find any information on the help screens about keywords.

You cannot but you can do a "Select" based on text and then either "Highlight" or "Sort to top" in a folders.

 Any help on either topic will be much appreciated.[/quote]

I get "unknown" in my newmail list all the time, but it's usually because it's spam and the sender hasn't entered a from and/or subject header.

As already stated it is most likely the ISP has set a maximum number of outgoing

messages believing that you may be sending spam or need a "business" account.  I have

many more recipients than you do and once I met their (ISP) maximum I found a work-around for me anyway.  Forward without "edit" the original to rest of recipients using no larger a number than they (ISP) allow. To make sure that the second batch is going out ok send a copy of the message to yourself at a new e-mail address at for example GMail.

Cliffp

The key is "supposed". At least one or two mails a day are not only not spam but also important messages.

But if you are going into the folder every day to get these false positives how did it get to be 90K messages.  Are you not deleting the trash? 

By the way... I tried to create a filter rule to delete from mailbox

some spam messages before downloading new ones but haven't succeeded

... any idea on how to do it?

I've done a lot of testing with POP3 server side filtering and it pretty much worked as specified.  Here's one of my server side filter setups where I am deleting mail older that 14 days.

--------------------------------------------- age.pnp --------------------------------------------

Age
If age older than 14 DeleteOnServer ""
If not age older than 15 Download ""

----------------------------------------------- end -------------------------------------------------

If nothing else though you can always use the PMail "Selective mail download" to get rid of the trash on the server.

I tried about everything with authentication, certificates.  MTCO said Pegasus mail just does not work with them.

Not sure why it does not.  The Direct SSL using ports 995 and 465 should work since it does work with GMail.  What does the session log say when you try to connect.  There is always the possibility that the ISP is using something that the add on cryptlib does not like.

Sounds like the text was one long line over the 1k limit of characters between hard returns.
