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.  

 

Are you running with PM maximised?  Try reducing the size.

Which version of Windows is this?  I've not seen anything like this before.

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.

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,

      Martin

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

Regards Paul

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?

 

 

[quote user="fkasmani"]

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

[/quote]

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.
