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.
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.
Add my thanks as well for a clear answer to the same problem I had just now after upgrading from version 3.(mumble) to 4.51. The cursor trick did the business nicely.
Yes use the -i <username> -MS commandline option to start the program. This will start you as the user you specify and allow you to run other copies as well as a different user. You must have at least 2 users setup since if there was only one then it would not even ask.
I suggest you use MapiPM from http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/pegadd/entry17704.aspx Once installed, any attachment file can be mailed from a Pegasus Mail session (or from Windows Explorer). But please read the install instructions to see the sequence and actions required.
