There is no support for POP3 or IMAP in the program.  Can anyone tell me if I can continue to use pegasus and if so how to configure the software to run in the new environment.

Since PMail can only connect to Exchange via IMAP4 or POP3 you are pretty much out of luck unless they provide some sort of webmail service that can be used with Mr Postman.  Since Mr Postman  says it can do Outlook Web Access you might give it a try.

MrPostman is a java program that allows you to access Yahoo Mail, Hotmail and other webmail services directly from your favorite mail client. 

It converts the web pages of your favorite webmail provider to e-mails and provides the standard POP interface to your mail client (e.g. Outlook Express, Netscape or Mozilla Mail, Thunderbird, Pegasus Mail). 

MrPostman is Free Software, released under the terms of the GNU Public License.

Currently supported webmail providers:

    * Hotmail
    * mail.com
    * Yahoo
    * gmail (Google mail)
    * indiatimes.com
    * juno
    * rediffmail
    * Gossamer mail
    * Outlook Web Access (Exchange 5.5)
    * Outlook Web Access 2003

Addition: arabic, hebrew, russian ... are working well.

[quote user="zac"]Hi,

the filter for incoming mail sometimes works, sometimes not. (for the same rule as well as for different rules)

Also if i try to apply tools-> Mail filtering rules -> Apply general rule set to folder results in exact _no_ action.

Either i misinterpret the aim of filter rules or i overlook some constraints  or the implementation is be broken.

Do someone have an idea what went wrong ??

Regards

What is/are the filter rule(s)?  The text from the winrules.pmc is preferred.

 

Go to Tools/Options/Message reader and check the box 'Use alternate font for printing' and set it to the right size.

This assumes you are using a more recent (than 94) version of the program !

 

Many thanks Thomas. I also found that "Subject" could also be used to supply 'Subj:' automatically.

I can't find out how to import the mail files from Vista's Mail to Pegasus.

 There are a couple  of commercial programs to do this  type of conversion.

You might want to check out the converters available at the following site as well.
      

You are seeing this only for some users? Is there any connection between these users?

Are all outgoing messages from these accounts affected or do internal messages work fine?

I have to admit that I can't understand what could be causing the text you have shown us. I wonder whether there is some other stage of the mail-sending process which is causing this. Do the affected signatures contain any HTML, PHP, JavaScript or some other code?

One thing that has just occurred to me - are you viewing these strange bits of text in Word (used by Outlook)? It's just that it looks like a Word field entry. Don't know why that would show up though.

[quote user="PEC"] At first I called this a serious bug.  However, maybe I should

rephrase it and call it a serious flaw in the philosophy behind the

programming which gives rise to what is tantamount to a serious flaw in

the program whether that is strictly a bug or not doesn't matter much,

it's still the job of the programmers and designers (to my mind) to

watch out for and at least be aware of the implications and act

accordingly.[/quote]

 I agree that it is a serious flaw in the philosopy of the programmers, and that flaw is to ignore standards and release sub-par software (Billy Boy, are you listening?)  Personally, I salute David for following the standards so stringently.  I could live with a warning message that the incoming mail breaks the rules, but not with David ignoring the standards to comply with crappy software--especially when doing so would open up security issues.

Thanks for the replies so far.

In a kinda way, there is a limit to space in puppylinux.

~/.wine, where the pmail program resides is part of what's called personal space.

I have 27MB left in there, but the pmail data is on another external HDD on which at the time of the issue had 500GB free. I cleared some more and have now 2.3GB free. This HDD is /sdb1. (In wine addressed as e:\) The total of pmail data is 1.5GB.

Knowing that pmail uses the /temp directory I cleaned it and this seemed to give a bit of more relieve. 

 

Maybe the 27MB left for /temp is considered too low compared to the 1.5GB of data already there. 

Hence my question how the pmail program defines when there is too little space.

 

I'll see at the wine 1.1.16 as well and come back if this has (or not) solved the issue.

This may take a while, as I depend on the developers of puppylinux to make 1.1.16 available as a installable package. 

 EDIT

Forgot to say in puppylinux one runs as root. 

Yes, this does the trick... Previewing is still not possible as the error remains, but the attachment can be saved now.

Great!

This is why I like Pegasus so much.... Thanks.

It's not adjustable, unfortunately. The reason for this is the current folder format being used by Pegasus Mail.The actual limit is the index file structure and this can't be changed until we get a new folder format in later versions.

Thank you very much, Thomas

I tried your way nº 2, and I GOT IT. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can imagine my feelings when I recovered old adresses, old attachments and some old beloved messages.

Again, from sunny Spain to sunny California, lots of thanks.

The pmail.ini entry "Home mailbox location" could be doing this.

When you are addressing a message the entries are shown below the list of addressbooks.  I don't understand if you are seeing this area and it is empty of entries or if the area is not visible at all.  If the second, then you have the bottom window bar too high.

Sure wish I could get this fixed.

Have you tried a complete new install to a different directory entirely to rule out problems with the OS.   If this works then you can point at the folders in the old mail directory to get your data. You can then copy the PND files for the old directory to the new to get the POP3 and SMTP setups.  If all of this works normally then I suspect that there is some sort of problem with your state.pmj, pmail.ini or folstate files that are causing the problem. 

You can then delete (rename) the pmail.ini, state.pmj and folstate.pm files in the original system and it will allow you to start as new without losing any data at all.  You will have to use the POP3/SMTP setup and reselect the POP3/SMTP setup and rebuild manuall any identities you were using.

Thanks Lythende...

The interesting thing is, on the system I use 99.9% of the time, that button "Expression.." is not shown.  But, on another machine that has Peg on, from years ago, it it there.  Both machines seems to have the same version of Peg installed, but in different places, one's in a folder from C:\ (buggy?) the other from C:\ProgramFiles\ (has the missing button)    I seem to remember, that the C:\ version I use mostly, was bulk copied from an earlier machine, not "installed" as such.

I'm going to backup all the existing mail data, and re-install Peg on the main PC and try again.

Let you know.

Thanks again.

Dave.

 

I must have misunderstood your reply because surely you can't have stumbled over this if you've already solved your original issue? Anyway, just in case...

You could hard-code the template to send its message to a particular e-mail address:

     set To = "joe@example.com"

Or you can have the template ask you for the To address:

     string sendingto "" "Enter the recipient's e-mail address:" 0 Address
     set To = "~vsendingto~"

Or, if the template is for a reply, you could have it send to the sender of the original message.

Thanks Glen.

Works like a charm.  Not sure why I hadn't needed to do this before, but I've got better things to do than worry about that :-)

Cheers,

DG

 

Try clicking the View button to switch between Html and plain text versions of the message..   But it does sound like the message is badly formatted.  Do you for instance see the html icon on the message list panel?

I figured it out.  I created distribution lists and then in the address book I added the distribution list as the email address.
