Many thanks. My brain obviously going - needed to select username button on add newmailbox, rather than directorypath button. Now works OK.

I set the shortcut to pmail.exe as the application. When setting the

E-mail app, there is a blank field in the setup screen of this part of

Opera which says "parameter". What do I put in that field so that

clicking on the E-mail link will put the desired address and Pegasus

together in harmony ?

Take this with a grain of salt since I quit using Opera quite some time back as too slow and non-standard in my particular use. 

Are you talking about the mailto: type URLs?  If so the program should be drive:\path\wsendto.exe and the parameter %1.  The wsendto.exe is in the WinPMail program directory.  That said, by default when you install WinPMail it sets the mailto: protocol to wsendto.exe and I would expect that Opera should be able to pick this up from the OS.

I would appreciate a copy of one of these messages so I can see what is happening in detail.   Please send me a copy of a message attached to a message addressed to irelam@telus.net

Thanks,

Thanks for that, deleted the offending file and all is OK

Ahhhh.... I see.......

tnx

Thanks Thomas,

With both options set it seems to work fine for me, and as expected. I can now retreive my mail from at least 2 sources. Not having them marked as read at the server due to POP limitations is a minor inconvenience.

I think the original poster really wanted to be able to minimise to the tray and you can do that.

Depends a lot if you get the original SMTP RCPT TO: address put into the message as a header.  There is an X-Envelope-To: header that does not apply since this is adding at the time of writing the message to the directory.  If you and your wife's addresses are added you can use filtering to control the download.

Suddenly, in the last 3 days, I am unable to add any kind of attachment.

I've been looking at this now for a couple of days and cannot figure out what is going on.  I've only encountered things like this where the drive did not allow access or the path was really really long and then I got a crash.  Can you attach a file if you select it from the program, home or new mail directories?

When download mail, I do not see any little window/box which gives me details of the transefer

Along the bottom of the window is the status bar. During sending and receiving, details of how many messages are being transferred are shown, along with the progress of larger messages.

I click on "new", enter the user info, and click okay, but get an error noise, and the name is not added.

Sounds like either a bad path or yuo do not have the rights to the directory on the system.  Try using c:\pmail for the program and c:\pmail\mail when asked for the location of the mailbox.

FWiW, if this is Vista you should always make sure you mention you are using Vista when asking any type of computer question.

Can you please confirm that you are seeing different settings in your two Identities? I'll explain:

Tools | Internet Options | Sending (SMTP) tab

If things are set correctly for your desired setup, you should find that when you are in your Gmail Identity, the only SMTP host listed is the Gmail one. Equally, in your other Identity you should not see the Gmail one.

I have not tested but if you only change the identity within the Compose Message window, rather than using the main toolbar before composing the message, it is possible that there is a bug which means it sends through the settings of the "toolbar identity".

Let us know how you get on.

If you know where the old mail files are located on the hard drive you can probably move all of them EXCEPT the pmail.ini file into the new HOME and NEW mail directory.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info to determine the current home and new mail directories, it is probably the same directory for both of them.  Make sure that WinPMail is NOT running when you do this or you'll mess up the hierarch.pm.

Hello,

using Pegasus 4.41 italian on WIn XP I have some problems saving
messages to disk.

If the disk is local the filename and position choosen are correct (not always, but about 99%).
If the disk is on a lan (NAS server) often Pegasus fails creating the
file name. For example: I choose the directory

 z:\nomedir\nomedir1\nomedir2\email.eml

and the program creates a file "nomed" (o something similar to the
name of a directory) in one of the sudirectory.

No, I meant we need to develop a Reply All button for her, for the next version. Sorry about that.

Problem solved!

Like I said, the pc had crashed twice and I also noticed that a mswinsck.ocx had been changed. So basically I did a system recovery to the day before the crash and, like magic, Pegasus stopped crashing. So it wasn't its fault after all [:D]

Two other operations I found useful to identify the problem are:

-  to move out (and back one by one) the .CMN files

- to remove (and then put back) the HIERARCH.PM file

this allows you to see if it makes a difference or not. If yes, then the solution is much less painful than to have to restore the system!!!

Thanks again, especially to Thomas and  arnaudherve!!

Note that the existing version of OpenOffice (2.4) does NOT support docx import. But v3 which is currently in final stages of Beta does. I gather that v3 will be formally issued in around a couple of weeks, when it does this may be your best option.

I had the same problem and I was able to use Thomas's instructions (5-step process) to get back to my mail.  Thank you.

Can you send me an example please to Irelam@telus.net ?

Regards,

     Martin

Thanks.  I will try these and keep you posted.
