That may be working.  I'll watch the folder I'm shunting the spam into to see if I get things I didn't expect in there.

 
Edited follow up: 

Working fine.  I notice the column that has normally has the Date: field is replaced by the Delivery-Date when the file is moved making the date column of message display non-blank.  Works, got this bit of recurring  spam out of my inbox.

Thanks,

I am trying out Pegasus as a possible client from TheBat which is driving me nuts with bugs.  When receiving HTML (from vendors) I have to manually select  images in the message to be downloaded. Selected messages will not download images and will stay on the preview screen. I have to go to another folder to clear the screen.  When coming back to the previous message that I tried to load images from, it is still has not loaded images and again will sit there until I switch views. 

1. What should I check to see why the images are not downloading?

Not sure why the images are not downloading, could be they are being blocked.

2. Why does the message remain in the preview area even though I have selected a new message in the same directory?

Again not sure what yuo are seeing  since when I select the next message it displays.  The is one thing I would check though.  Got to Tools | Options | Advanced and set the winsock to load always.

3. How can I load images automatically without manual intervention ?

Tools | Options | Message reader and selection the option you want

From the help:

Handling remote-linked graphics in incoming mail

An increasing number of mail messages arriving in your mailbox are likely to be HTML  messages containing graphics. In a perfect world, all these messages would be what is known as MHTML messages, or messages using specially constructed HTML data that allows any graphics referenced in the message to be contained in the message as well. Unfortunately, laziness and ignorance on the part of many sites generating these messages means that a significant number of them will not be formatted correctly, but will contain remote graphic links - that is, links that will require your mail program to establish a connection to a remote site to retrieve the graphics they represent.

Remote-linked graphics are a really bad thing, for two key reasons: the first is that they mean the message can only be viewed correctly when you are online: if you want to view the message while you're away from an Internet link, you typically will not be able to see it in its correct form. By contrast, properly-packaged MHTML messages are always viewable and require no further connection or waste of bandwidth to retrieve their graphics.

Much more seriously, though, remote-linked graphics present an insidious and extremely dangerous opportunity for unscrupulous senders to invade your privacy: by giving the remote link a few simple characteristics, it is possible for the sender to gain a considerable amount of information about anyone who downloads the graphics as they read the message. The information that can be derived includes: the fact that you have read the message; the time and date you read the message; how often you read it; whether you forwarded it to someone else; your computer's IP address; your geographical location (certainly your city location, but potentially down to the street level). Over time, this information can be tracked to build a profile of your online behaviour and the type of mail you read. And just in case you didn't get it the first time, all this information can be derived simply because when you read the message, your mail program retrieved the remote-linked graphics it contained.

Here at Pegasus Mail, we think remote-linked graphics in e-mail are a serious and much under-rated security threat: for this reason, Pegasus Mail will *never* automatically download any remote-linked graphics in an e-mail message unless you have specifically told it to do so. We accept that there are some occasions where you know the sender of the message and can be fairly sure of that person's integrity, or where you have decided that the risks are acceptable; in such cases, Pegasus Mail allows you to right-click the message and choose Show pictures, at which point it will go away and retrieve any remote-linked graphics it contains (note that graphics in proper MHTML messages are always displayed correctly and automatically, and entail no privacy risks). You can also indicate that certain senders are always to be trusted, and that Pegasus Mail can automatically download remote-linked graphics in mail from those senders if it senses that you are online.

To indicate that a particular sender's remote-linked graphics should be downloaded automatically, click the Exceptions button in the Display remote-linked graphics... control group on this page and add the address of the sender in the dialog that opens. From the time you do this, Pegasus Mail will automatically behave as if you have right-clicked the message and chosen Show pictures every time it displays messages from that sender.

Automatically if a connection exists  Rather against our better judgment, we have allowed ourselves to be persuaded to add a setting that tells Pegasus Mail it should always attempt to display remote-linked graphics in any message, if it detects that an Internet connection exists. We recommend in the strongest terms that you think very hard before enabling this option - we are not being completely paranoid about this, you really *do* expose yourself to severe invasion of privacy by doing so. You have been warned.

To be honest I do not see that file in the original copy of 4.41 on my pc yet the help files are there.

Any chance it's called something else?

Because of the size of the mail program I had to place in a zip and open in the laptop when transfering.

As I said I looked in the original  copy and cannot find  *.hlp in the program.

[/quote]

I just checked in w32-450-pb1.exe and there are 10 .hlp files in it. w32-441.exe also has 10.

I don't know where you were looking but the 4.50 beta distribution as well as the 4.41 distribution certainly have the help files in them.

Works a treat.  Thank you.

Thanks for this reply...

I didn't make any new folders... the folders are just mixed up.  

Hi Thomas,

 Yeah silly me, its all there ..... next time I will check before I posted.

Thanks anyway.

Solved! Well, sort of.

 I returned the Iomega NAS, got a Philips NAS, and had the whole thing set up in 20 minutes. 

 It seems this problem was simply caused by the way the Iomega handles the sharing, and Pegasus somehow choked on it.

Interestingly, if you now type "pegasus mail iomega" into google, this thread comes up. [:)]

 Thank you Thomas R. Stephenson and dkocmoud  for all your time on this matter!

Is there any way to stop the popup dialog box when there's a network error? It can get pretty annoying, stealing focus from other apps etc. Thanks!

My settings are use URLPROXY and with Opera as my browser. I now messed 
around with about 8 different versions of those options. The only ones 
that did not crash was when I had only "Find automatically" on and let 
IE start (with or without the IE malformed option). IE never opened the 
page though, just sat there for ages so it could be IE got crap sent as 
well.

This is probably the problem.  The URL proxy should not be used, it's only there for backward compatibility.  Turn it off and only use either "Find browser automatically" or specify the command line option you need to start the browser. 

I do not know why IE did not open though and since you did not provide a real URL I can't test it.  That said I've had no problems with long URLs and Firefox, even the ones that were so long I had to select them manually.

Thank you very much. That solved the problem.

Yes I did.....but I must tell you after I signed off the forum and shut down computer

due to a couple of office meetings I had and then coming back and turning computer back on

everything was normal....I don't get it at all. In essesnce we're back to normal but never thought I

would have to that in order to regain the send faction, As mentioned I received okay all along.

Thanks for reading AND your support for being there. Maybe i should think about changing 

the password workings.

Is there a way to configure Pegasus to save the state of open IMAP folders between sessions?

"Save the Pegasus Mail desktop state between sessions" is enabled, and local folder states are preserved but IMAP folders are not.

"Always connect to this profile when Pegasus Mail starts up" is enabled in the IMAP profile and Pegasus autoconnects on startup as expected, but the IMAP folders that were open at shutdown are all closed.  So you have to manually open the IMAP inbox and outbox and rearrange the desktop every time you start up Pegasus.  Arrgh!

TIA

Best I know, it was plain text.

I use either the Pegasus "compose" function, or my text editor (a real ascii thing) and then do the cut-and-paste thing

Cut and paste quite often will trigger the "Rich text" when you do not use the paste special to ensure that you are pasting plain text only.

Have I got this right, the beardef.css file is loaded if *any* css file is referenced by a url-type link in an email?

Thanks for your ongoing help with this. We're trying to find the least painful solution to the quoting thing, unfortunately we have sent and received a lot of long formatted emails over the years, so when migrating our email we need to preserve the quoting in a way that allows it to be displayed unambiguously when we have to dig back in the archives (which happens all too often). The simple indenting doesn't clearly differentiate between indenting that was part of the original email's formatting, and quote-type indenting that is supposed to represent a later reply or comment to a previous section of an earlier email. Hard to describe but an affected email looks like format soup :-)

Many thanks for your support.

I will switch to outlook 2007, Adressbook currently done, the export from Pegasus Mail is running to Windows Mail Vista, then import in WMV, then importing in OL2007. Tests being good. Headers correct, sending-date correct, it seems like good.

Pegasus was absolut excellent the last 5 years for me, over 68000 Mails being handeld with PM. I think, OL2007 is currently stable enough to handle it in seperate pst´s.

Thanks,

 Werner

You are the BEST, Thomas!!!  That fixed it!

 Whoopee, what a relief.  Go fix yourself a tasty eggnog, you earned it!  You can't imagine how frustrating it's been.

 Merry Christmas, Pegasus Angel!

I am running 4.50 PB1 (Win32). 

Messages marked Priority=Urgent show up in my New mail in red.

I have filters  to set messages in red according to conditions I define.  Is there an option to tell Pmail to ignore checking Priority=Urgent status of a message?

I tried having my first filter look for attribute Urgent and if found then set color to Black, but I still see red. 

 Sorry, there is no way to do this as long as the header is in the message.

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]> Hi,
Over 99% of the time you really need to use session logging to really determine why you got this fatal error.  There is something in the SMTP headers that is wrong and not the message body in most cases.

Thank you, Thomas. I will switch on session logging and report later on about the results.

Is there a maximum folder size in Pegasus? (V4.41)

 On of our users had their main folder in the 1.7GB range. He was getting and "insufficient disk space" error whenever he tried to move anything into tis folder - there is 92GB or disk space available.

There is no limit in WinPMail but there are limits of total file size the windows. There is a 2 GByte file size limit in Windows 32.  I suspect they were getting over the 2 GByte limit.

 I had the user delete some older, large emails that were no longer required and after the "compressing folder to recover deleted space", the user was able to move emails into the folder again.

Works beautifully. Thanks so much.
