I assume you mean FOL*.PMM these should also have an associated PMI folder and should probably be moved to the current mail directory when WinPMail is NOT running.


> NEWCACHE.PM
> CACHE.PM

The two can be deleted.


> STATE.PMJ
> HIERARCH.PM

Probably delete these as well since they do not relate to the current folder structure.

> FOLSTATE.PN
> DESKTOP.PM0
> virscan.log
> virscan.bck

Delete these

Checkout Han v.d. Bogaerde's Pegasus mail Links at http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/
He has provided a lot of information on Pegasus Mail for Windows including a complete listing of the files and file extensions used by Pegasus Mail.

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]If your new mail folder contains more than 750 messages, Pegasus Mail will stop doing automatic updates of the folder for performance reasons, and will check for new mail in your new mail folder less frequently.[/quote]

Ahhh! That's it. Thank you very much. Apologies for not looking in Help -- seemed more like something broken than something I wasn't understanding. Will check there further in the future.

 

Best regards,

The optional html viewer is called Bearhtml and fully supports downloading of remote graphics, as well as message inline graphics files.

If you have not already done so, I suggest you download Bearhtml, either from this site (download section) for the current production version of Bearhtml, or visit my personal website at  http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/  for the most recent beta versions.

[quote user="A01"]

-- I know there are these things called "Identities" but I don't understand them

[/quote]

I recall having the same problem and feel that Help and the manual lack a clear description of how they basically work.

When you create a new identity (Tools/Identities) you are asked which identity you want to base it on - it will be <default> if you don't already have any named identities.
At the point the settings for the new identity are identical to those of the one you based it on, however, when you make changes to your settings (e.g. Internet options), they only apply to the current identity. With one identity you could be billbloggs@bullshit.com and another dickehead@happy.org and you can set up your POP & SMTP definitions for each of them.

For my main (default) identity I don't use list banding (Tools/Options/User interface/List displays) but for others I do (with different colours for each) so it's immediately apparent that I'm currently a non-default identity.

Message 2. The email forwarded back to me by our secretary. Again with

raw headers but with email addresses and domains obscured with

"[removed]" manually put in.

How is she actually forwarding the mail?  The sample you provided looks like she just pasted the raw message into her editor.  When I copied this and saved this as a CNM file it becomes obvious she is not doing a normal forward (i.e. bounce) where the messages is just redirected to another user.     I do not have access to Groupwise and this really looks like a Groupwise problem.

I deleted all messages "ready to send" but there were two without any

content, i can't delete. ( They just reappeared after i restartet PMail)

 1.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info to locate the HOME mail directory.

2.  Use File Manager or Explorer and go to this directory and delete the zero length PMO, PMX and PMW files.

Not sure what you are trying to do is possible since these are stored in the pmail.ini and state.pmj.  That said if you only sync the PMM, PMI, PMR and PM! files the only thing that you would be working with is folders and address books.

Thanks for the pointer - but it turned out not to be quite that simple! When I disonnected from the network, mails opened instantly. Reconnected, and set the default to print to file and that also worked. The original default printer was on the desktop, hardwired to the network in the office. I had installed the latest printer driver last week, and when I rebooted there was a problem with a missing dll. Didn't affect the local printing, but remote printing from my laptop is delayed - as was opening mails! How weird. But many thanks. Need to sort out printer driver. Didn't think pmail could be hacked that easy - that's why I use it!

 Cheers

Ron

[quote user="irelam"]This insertion is quite normal and is part of the header information for an html stream. The following is an example of the complete !DOCTYPE tag:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
          "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

If for some reason you do not see this complete tag with both open and close angle brackets, then you have a problem that the senders must solve.

I found how to reproduce the result. Using Pegasus I pasted a newsgroup message for into an email and sent it to two mailboxes -- one at my Comcast account and one at my mailbox at my website provider (ISP).

RESULTS AT COMCAST -- the problem did not occur. Here is the email:

Here is the the DOCTYPE html:

[quote]Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-transfer-encoding: Quoted-printable
Content-description: Mail message body

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

RESULTS AT MY ISP -- The problem occurred. Here is the email:

[/quote] At the ISP, there is no DOCTYPE statement in the header.

In this test, the problem only occurred at when viewed on the ISP's server using Firefox. I downloaded a copy of that email with Pegasus. On my PC, the DOCTYPE html is in the header:

[quote]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
          "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html  xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang=3D"en" lang=3D"en">=[/quote]

So the problem occurs when I read the email on the ISPs server but not when I download it into Pegasus and open it there.
