I just fixed a similar problem, a queued message kept re-appearing after I tried to send it or delete it.  Unlike the rest of this thread it was not an empty message, and making it stranger yet it was addressed to me. I found one .pmx file {no .pmo or .pmw} that had some of the same message content, and deleted it, but it just re-appeared at next program startup.  I kept trying the same thing and , lo and behold, the result was the same every time!

Finally I searched my New mail and Main folders for a couple of words of the message content and found the same message in my New mail folder {it had not been read or forwarded} and I deleted it from there.  When I looked in Queued mail again it was gone, and has stayed gone.

Explain that.

Thanks. I doubt HP will be particularly concerned about this as the driver has not been updated for over a . More and more users on the network are experiencing this problem.

Actually I've found HP quite helpful in fixing their printer driver problems.  I had essentially the same type of problem with the early 2600dn and they knew about the problem and provided a fix.  Seems to me though the people developing the HP drivers expect the users to be the beta testers.  ;-(

edit:  One more thing, make sure that you completely remove the driver before you try a new install.  Most of the problems I've found with HP drivers come from mixing versions.

you are my new resident genius! i had my default printer pointing to a networked laptop, my other one... so i set it to a printer i had for this one...and it worked!!!!! it also helped my graphic creation program..it was sluggish when i needed to resize an image.

Just one question:  If the junk mail folder is in place and working, do

I still have to do anything with Spamhalter?  If so, what and how?

Just verity that you can write and delete messages in the folder and verify that Spamhalter is pointing to a valid folder using Tools | Spam and Content Control | Spamhalter.

It does look like you are doing a proper CRAM_MD5 authorization since you are sending back your email address and encoded password.   I would also try using the simple username and password though to see if this helps.  That said, the problem might be that AT&T is not really doing a CRAM-MD5, many ISPs do not.  If you get PB1 you can set up the SMTP to not use CRAM-MD5.  From the PB1 help:

Do not use CRAM-MD5 authentication even if it is advertised  This one's a bit technical, so please bear with us... The process of logging into the SMTP server to authenticate your identity can take a variety of forms: the server "advertises" the forms it understands, and Pegasus Mail looks through that list, choosing the most secure form it recognizes. Some forms are very "weak", in that they either transmit your credentials as clear text or in a form that can be easily broken, while other forms are "strong", in the sense that it is very difficult to work out your credentials simply by observing the exchange of data between the two programs. Unfortunately, one of the strongest forms of authentication, called CRAM-MD5, is commonly misconfigured on SMTP servers, even at quite reputable ISPs - the server will advertise that it supports it, but will actually fail any attempt to use it. Getting the ISP to realize that they are at fault is a lost cause in most cases - it's almost always easier simply to check this control, which tells Pegasus Mail never to use CRAM-MD5 for this server. You should be aware that you reduce the security of your connection by checking this control: CRAM-MD5 is the only commonly-used authentication form that offers reasonable security, and by disabling it, you force Pegasus Mail to use less secure methods... But sometimes you may decide that being able to send mail is more important than being able to do it securely. The choice is yours.

If expression body matches "*koi8-r*" DeleteOnServer ""

Are you sure that the ones slipping through use this in the body of the message instead of the headers?  In addition, you should walk before you run.  Work with one filter based on the "Subject" until you know that the system is working correctly.  Once you know it is working then you can try the other filters.

received mails disappear immidiatly after open the IN-Folder. Pegasus Mail v4.41

How have you set Tools | Options | Basic settings "Allow read messages to stay in the new mail folder

Usually when you close the new mail folder, Pegasus Mail moves all the messages you have read but left there to the folder you have specified as your Default Folder. If you would prefer new mail to stay in your new mail folder until you explicitly move or delete it, check this control.

For Thunderbird, Eudora or Netscape MBX type folders you can use "Add mailbox to list to point at the directory containing the *.MBX files.  You can also use Mail System Converter to convert to and from a these and a few other mail programs. http://www.interguru.com/mailconv.htm or the latest version is always available from http://www.dragon-it.co.uk/pegasus.htm

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.

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.

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.
