How are sending it - text or HTML?

You say you can open it in gmail - does that mean it's not the sending that's at fault, but the interpreting by the receiver?

Thanks to both of you for your replies.

Sent as HTML. Using the paste special command with no wrapping fixed it.

Cheers!

Thank you for your help. I think I now know how it functions. Thank you.

I have problems with attaching signatures when I send a mail. Sometimes the signature is written correct in the mail after the text, other times it does not show up (I test this facility in mailing to one of my own mail accounts and afterwards retrieving the mail). I can see no pattern in the behaviour and have tried various settings. If I choose that the signature (In Options) shall be shown when I create the mail, it works correct. But I dont want that, I want to be able to choose if there shall be a signature or not when the mail is sent. Any help will be appreciated.

[quote user="lordofthemoon"]If I replicate my existing folder structure on the IMAP server, will my existing mail filters continue to work, will I have to modify them or can I just not use filters on IMAP mail?[/quote]

You can use filters but you have to define them differently.

You define them as 'general rule sets' (the same filters are available) and attach them to the folders as 'on open' or 'on close'.  If you are using preview mode, the 'on open' work as soon as you select the folder, but 'on close' only work when you specifically open the folder and then close it.

[quote]As for settings, is it just a case of disabling my existing POP3 hosts (across all my identities), and ensuring that the IMAP server is set to connect automatically on startup?[/quote]

yes

[quote]Is there any way to synchronise mail from the IMAP server down locally for caching/speed/offline work?[/quote]

Yes, PMail caches folders, and you have quite a lot of control over it, but offline working isn't really an option with IMAP.

But why is that SMTP profile the same in the two identities? And why not the new one?

Because you created the new identity based on the other identity. Many times the identity does not need a different internet setup and even if you do it's a lot easier to change the current setup than to go through and enter all new data.

Worked!

Thanks...Jon

Create a POP3 rule with an easy to find name,  for the one user to download only if user = whoever On the other machine create the same rule with a different rule name but click the NOT check mark, to negate the rule

The rules need to be associated with a POP3 Internet service.  So go to menu Tools/Internet.  select the POP3 Receiving Tab.   Click to edit the entry you need, then select Download Controls, then Select button to associate your new rule with downloading  Then click OK    Repeat on second machine with the negative rule

Thank you for the reply Martin.

I created a POP3  rule set.  What kind of filtering rule should I add to download only one user?

Thank you,

It's that simple Thanks

If the path is correct, use the   -I <username> command line option!

 From the help files -I <username>
"Specify your standalone identity on the commandline. This flag only operates in standalone mode (it is ignored in NetWare mode) and differs from -U in that you are not actually becoming another user - you are simply identifying yourself, so Pegasus Mail takes fewer security precautions against mail forgery."

Thanks - that did the trick.

I guess that the -U command must only apply to NetWare mode although Help doesn't explicilty say so. It would be better if help for the -I command was worded "Specify your standalone identity  username on the commandline. ......"

On the Folder content list, is there a Html icon on the left hand side that looks like an envelope, if so that shows there is html.  If it is html try keying in Shift + Ctrl + P while looking at the message content. This uses Bearhtml to do the printing rather than the internal Pegasus Mail printer service.

Martin

If I understand well the a@mail.dk, b@mail.dk is only aliases for only one existing mailbox. In this case you can use a mail filtering function in Pegasus Mail. You find it in Tools/Mail filtering rules/Create-edit POP3 rule set. There you can create rule for filtering mail in POP3 server. In first step you must create new entry by button New and then you can open it and add new rules in your case it will be rule for header of mail.

Dear All,

seems like I am the only one that has the need to have both From: and To: fields displayed in the message folders.

The "New Mail" folder displays only the From: field but I need to see also the To: field (I mainly use my provider WEB interface to read and send mail messages and only monthly I download both the received and sent messages in Pegasus in order to store them locally, so all the messages that I have sent appear with the From: field showing my name! but I need to see also the To: field in order to dispatch the messages to the proper folder)

The normal folders show only the From: field which is differently populated regarding if the folder is a "Sent Mail" folder or a "Received Mail" folder. In the former's subfolders in the FROM field I find the "To:" header while in the latter's  subfolders in the FROM field I find the "From:" header. Quite smart but in my case, when I drag and drop a message in a "Sent Mail" subfolder that is in my "New Mail" folder and that is one that I have sent using the WEB mail interface of my ISP, in the FROM field I see the "From:" header which is always my name and not the header of the recipient since in this case the "smart" substitution does not work.

Is it possible to have both the "From:" and the "To:" headers displayed in a folder in two different columns? Or how can I activate the "smart" feature when I drag and drop a message into a "Sent Mail" subfolder forcing the application to display the "To:" field instead the "From:" field?

 
Thanks in advance.

This morning the second address also shows dual entries down to where i stopped editing last nite. Help.

The index is messed up.  If you upgrade to PB1 you will have the option to re-index the addressbook.

Setting of the font is stored in pmail.ini file (this file is plaintext so you can edit it e.g.in notepad)  which is usually located in mailbox directory you can check if changes are written there after switch off Pmail there or you can try edit in this file manually size of font.

Check if this file is not set as read-only etc...

You can also delete this file and Pmail recreate it, but you lost all user settings include POP3/SMTP definitions.

I suspect your php script is messing with the < & > signs in an unsatisfactory manner.( i.e. adding them when not required), or else you should just omit them and let the script add them. The phpBB3 docs should tell you the syntax required.

Turn on session logging for MercS to get a transcript of what exactly is being sent by phpBB3.

Well, duh. Was not looking in the right place, I finally found it, did what you suggested and got rid of the offending email. I also emailed the person who forwarded it and many others to me and told her to stop.<g> thanks for your help.</g>

Checking headers I can see his webmailer mPOP Web-Mail 2.19 using the same encoding for both from and reply-to fields. So how come Pegasus displays it corretly when I open the mail but no in the inbox?

Not to spark another discussion on why I am using UNIX type folders ;-) ... they worked well for me and for what I needed them for the last 8+ years with some minor disadvantages.

However, I suspect that a lot of the performance related issues (long startup and shutdown times, see also other postings http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/11606.aspx) may be related to that UNIX type folder format. Are there any other experiences on larger setups with many folders on how long it takes to start up and shut down just to get a comparison?

Folders: 1000 + folders (nearly all folder UNIX mailbox folder type)
PC type: Dell Notebook P4mobile 1.7GHz, RAM 750MB, HD 120GB
Startup time: ~30 sec.
Shutdown time: ~30 sec

Thanks

Thomas

My 1000+ folders are nearly all of the UNIX Mailbox Format. Is there an easy way to convert them to PM type folders?
The only way I could think of is by manually (re)creating each folder with the same name and then move the messages into the new ones, then delete the old ones. I did a test and estimated that this may take approximately 8-12 hours(!) to do ... so any more efficient way would be welcome :-)

Thanks

Thomas
 

How do you get the error messages to stay on the screen long enough to read them ?
