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.

We have got Pegasus installed on a server. At starting Pegasus we get the message " the mailbox you are attempting to access appears to be locked by another process." en some more text

We updated an old Pegasus programm 3.1a to the 4.41 version.  When running the WSsetup on each workstation, the programm should create a desktop icon. This doesn't work. So we made a shortcut to Pegasus on each workstation.

Not sure what to tell you.  This error means that the WinPMail lock file was found in the users new mail directory at start up.   This could means that there is another user connected to the same mailbox or that the program was not properly closed.

I think this is the problem, but i don't know how to solve it.

Is there someone who knows what to do ?

Ben 

A (disappointed in the answer but) thankyou for the information.

Can I suggest version 5 re-enable copying header info  [:D]

[quote user="Dustoff"]Yes, I can list many identities in the SMTP network configuration and switch between them by using the disable/enable buttons on the right side to choose the one I wish to use at the moment. It does NOT matter where that identity is in the list if it is the only one enabled. Perhaps if I moved the desired one to the top of the list that would work as well but I have not tried it since I feel more comfortable disabling the ones I am not using.[/quote]

Go to Tools / Identities and create a new Identity and then 'become' it.  Now set up the SMTP setting you want for that. This will be activated every time you become that identity - there's no need to enable/disable items each time.  You can set the shortcut to start in a specific identity or change manually after starting.  There are quite a few options which are identity-specific, including your email address.

[quote]Neither the manual nor the help files describe the way to choose between multiple SMTP identities and I had to figure it out for myself.[/quote]

The help has a detailed section on Identities and Attaching identities to folders. It doesn't mention SMTP explicitly, but does talk about different POP3 definitions.

From Thomas's reply it seems that concurrent running is no problem.

The install on the usb drive can potentially be used on any pc you plug it into, if that could be an advantage.

There are instruction on the forum for installing on a usb device to avoid problems when the drive letter changes.

thank you for the quick answer

When it is a stand-alone PC (for test purposes) and you are only sending messages to yourself, there is no SMTP host to consider. It is simply Pegasus Mail that isn't working correctly.

This may seem an insignificant issue, but sending emails with messy code displayed is not a very "attractive" advertisement of the product. A product of which I am a hugh fan. My Outlook colleagues are just waiting for issues like this to force a switch from using Pegasus Mail. I am a lone voice in a field of Microsoft corn.

Thanks for your help.

I've written a utility for performing the equivalent of Pmail's "Check consistency" but that operates on Unix format folders.

It can also convert them to normal (V2.x) mail folders preserving the status and colour of messages and their position in the Folders window.

An overview can be seen at http://www.chainganger.co.uk/Pmail/Peg.htm and you can also download from that page.

But..... It's currently not setup for more than one user. Therefore I need the info on what to do after the fact.

If you have only one user then it will never ask for a username, there is no reason to ask for a username when there is only one user.  Adding a user should be simple if this was a relatively new installation.  You should have a Addresses |  User management menu item that allows you to add a new user.  If you do not then it's a bit more difficult.

These are the procedures for converting from single user to multiuser.  This process assumes that you used the default settings when installing WinPmail in single user mode, therefore the basic directory is c:\pmail and the mail directory is c:\pmail\mail. 

1:  Go to the MSDOS prompt and create a directory for your current mail files and username.  I assume you are using a username of THOMAS.  

    MD c:\pmail\mail\THOMAS

2:  Move your current mail files from the c:\pmail\mail directory to the c:\pmail\mail\THOMAS directory.  

    MOVE c:\pmail\mail\*.* c:\pmail\mail\THOMAS

3:  Edit your pmail.ini file and change all instances of c:\pmail\mail to c:\pmail\mail\THOMAS.  If you have saved your username in win.ini, edit the win.ini file and remove the username line. 

4:  Delete the file c:\pmail\pmail.cfg.  This will remove your current configuration and force WinPmail to go the install process. 

5:  Double click on the WinPmail icon.  Since the pmail.cfg is missing, this will cause WinPmail to go through the install process.  Select the multiuser option.  

6:  You will be asked to about the users.  Add the username THOMAS and any other users you wish.  Make sure you give administrator privileges to at least one username so you will be able to administer to users.  Select close. 

7:  You will be asked to select a username, use THOMAS.  This should now open WinPmail using you old mail information.  You will now have an additional menu item under Address that will allow you to administer your users from WinPmail. 

8:  You now can create an icon for each user with the -i <username> commandline option to enable starting WinPmail without having to enter the username each time. 

This is not graphics related, but I also have issues when forwarding HTML mail in Pmail v4.41

 I get loads and loads of "&#160;" all across the screen. These are often placed in "From", "To" and "Subject" headers.

Is this a bug with Pmail or the HTML rendering..?

 Thanks. Stephen S.

Yes, that's checked but makes no difference.

I've now made url links work by unchecking it and putting in the address of the browser (/usr/bin/firefox)

I've tried doing the same for attachments (Options / Content viewers) by specifying the program for each attachment type.  The correct program starts, but unfortunately the link passed doesn't resolve:

e.g. "/home/paul/c:\windows\temp\wpm1234.doc doesn't exist"
