In the pegasus Mail & mercury support manual I read on pg6 : 

"Make sure the Outgoing mail path specifies the UNC network path to

your Mercury/32 spool
directory, as seen by your workstations"

when I run PCONFIG.exe I should see something like this:  *Outgoing mail path : \\mailpc\c-drive\mail\outgoing

 but when I run the program I see instead this C:\wamp\www\MERCURY\QUEUE

Is this OK?

Yes as long as there are no other workstations on the lan that will be used with this installation.  The UNC path is specified so that remote Pegasus Mail clients are looking to the proper system and path for the mail queue.

This does NOT however make Pegasus the default system mailer it will, for example, still not appear in the list displayed by the "Add Remove Programs -> Set Program and Access defaults Tab".  

There is however a thread about this in the beta discusions forum and for those with experience Michael (AKA idw) has posted instructions on how to do it.   When I got the edit right in my registry and set Pegasus as the default email client I found that OpenOffice now used Pegasus as its default email client.

I can send now testing mails from my zen store (admin@african...) to one of my email adresses but Idon't actually get it in my inbox.

Well you do not give us much to work with. I suggest to create a session log using the box in Tools -> Internet Options -> General. That might show what's going on on a tcp level.

It you are running a Netware server then the TCPIP.NLM will be in the SYS:SYSTEM directory and will be loaded by the autoboot.ncf file on the Netware server startup.  The TCPIP.NLM is required when running Mercury.NLM on a Netware host.

Thank you so much!  That was exactly what I needed, I've moved my files and now they are available to everyone!  Thanks Again!![:D]

Is there any way to see or set the POP3 timeout setting, other than running the wizard?

Tools | Internet options...  allows you to change the General, POP3 and SMTP settings.

 Would I get this set of messages if the password for mail was changed?

Not normally, but I just tried to connect to the host IP you specified and it timed out on password.  Looks like it could be a bad username/password.

 Please note that I have four email addresses at comcast.net, and only

the dthomsen8@comcast.net address is failing in this way.  

and this makes it more likely that there us a password problem.

Ta-Da ! You solved it. Thank you very much.

Wow, how many secret rosetta stones are there in Pegasus ? Some of this reminds me of trying to figure out the path inside the pyramids.

Whatever, it now works, and I can read it. Thank you a bunch.

Also true on Canon iP4300. No matter what is set, printer resets itself (only when printing a message in Pegasus mail 4.63) to the upper paper feed.

Now, the answer begets a question: Is it possible that in a future

version of Pegasus it could be an option for content filtering to use

the address book as a whitelist? I can see the logic behind both yes

and no answers, but an option would allow the user to choose. Any

thoughts?

I have no idea if this is possible at all and v5.x is going to have a new addressbook as well.  Might be possible, but only David can tell if this will work out.

Subquestion (possibly answered elsewhere in the forums): is an update

to address book functionality (basically, bringing it in line with

current standards, it is dated after all) on the table?

There is going to be a new addressbook, probably based on one of the RFCs for an addressbook so it could be more easily imported and exported.   David has done some preliminary work on this but we've not seen it.

1. Default

2. Gmail account

3. E-mail (o2.pl) account

The default cannot be removed but can be one of the identities.  Personally though I would do GMail as IMAP4 and the o2.pl as the default.  You can attach the GMail identity to the IMAP4 account if you wish.  I've got about 4 IMAP4 accounts attached to my system right now, including GMail.

FWIW, the Tools | Mail filtering rules help is quite extensive, check it out. 

In the picture below can you see my settings: they work (with Pegasus Mail not in the foreground).

My only guess here is something, like anti-virus software, is interfering with WinPMail.  The CNM file is put into the new mail directory but then deleted by the anti-virus software.  Turn it off.  If he need to check his mail for viruses then use something like VirScan by Martin Ireland.  See the downloads area for details.

That said, if you were using Mercury/32 to get the mail for the users then the users would not have to be using any sort of POP3 downloads.  You could also use Clamwall, Spamhalter/POPFileD and/or Greywall  to keep the spam/viruses out of the users mailboxes as well.  Increase user effeciency quite a bit as well.

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

[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,

Probably if you are reading the actual RFC 2822 that is presented there.  There are a couple of entries that I spotted immediately though that simplified the RFC to the point that the answer was wrong.

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="AF4K"]I have the same issue. I tried following the instructions found on this forum (see below) but htey do not seem to work

on my current version 4.41 of Pegasus.[/quote]

What target system? Did you consider the issues described in ?

And if it still doesn't work, check this thread out:

[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.
