Mercury is certainly not needed but I've found it very useful for handling all the mail for the users on the lan.  It works especially well when used in conjunction with Pegasus Mail.

Thank you for this reply and the information, I have so much to learn and so little time to get things done.  I am going to go with just Pegasus for now, maybe later that other part could be added.  Still working on learning more about Pegasus, now needing to learn about Vista, have two or three other computers I want to setup for other tasks, still need to save some of my information on the XP that crashed on me.  Not to forget my tasks here at home, cooking, cleaning, washing, cut the grass, bath for the dogs, and me once in a while.

 I think it will be just Pegasus for awhile.  TIA,

I wonder what it would take to interface with the windows display API's to determine whether the window being drawn is being drawn on a window that is not there and adjust accordingly?

I suspect that is the problem, as ALL multi window programs I use (that remember their window positions) show this behavior when you move the screen from under them.

Mr. Thomas Stephenson,

Would you forgive me today on this matter and I promise you I will get to it tomorrow.  Spent the entire day looking for some things for my Wife so she may finish her projects.  Was completely Un-Successful in finding any of what she needs.  I am very tired at this time and feel there could be some ERRORs made by me and I do not want that to happen.

I will re-read your message and instructions tomorrow, after a night of rest I hope, will be on this about 0600 hours local time -6:00hrs from Zulu time.  Plus still not fully capable of working with Vista as of yet and still training, experimenting and doing some things to learn more about how to use this system.  Mostly still installing software that I like to use and orginizing folders and files.

I am not a dumper to the desktop and go from there, they are placed where I want them so they can be watched and kept safe.

 Thank you for not becoming upset with me because of my Final message, have been spending long hours on here to get this setup so I know where all programs are installed and saved, downloaded *.exe, *.zip, or any other form and kept safe so if need be they can be reinstalled.

I've tested public folders in Pegasus Mail using Ubuntu with Wine but I've only used the mapped drive letter.  I suspect you'll have to use drive letter mapping to get this to work.

For the Outlook folder there is a utility called PM2MSN32.exe from Martin Ireland that can convert the Outlook folders to Pegasus Mail message files.   PM2MSM32 is a specialized 32bit Mapi client that interfaces directly with Microsoft MsExchange/Outlook (or any other Mapi mail server).  It extracts the content of the InBox to individual text files that can be imported to other mail systems such as Pegasus Mail.  In the case of Pegasus Mail it puts CNM files into the new mail directory and then you can put these into a separate folder.  http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/  

And if cost is not a problem here are a couple of commercial programs to do this  type of conversion.

Many thanks, I'll give it a try.

Hummm... doesn't work here; just tried it (with 3.12c). When I try I get a popup that says (in part):

"You cannot drop a message onto that window or onto that part of that window.

...

 You may not drop a message onto a folder where it is already located nor onto the New Mail folder."

So maybe there's a change since 3.12c? I'll be home tonight or tomorrow and will once again try 4.41 to see what I can figure out.

Well, that fixed it. Now I'm wondering why it has worked fine for several years before suddenly exhibiting this problem. Many thanks.

ISO-8859-2.  When I set here ISO-8859-1, the situation signifficantly improves.

It is very interesting, that Pegasus Email sends a differently encoded Email from the Email stored inside Copyself. If an receiver will send a cripled encoding I will notify this sooner. Or is it possible that other Email reader ignores totally reported encoding. Don't know.

Anyway, there are still several characters somehow modified:  "úplně ->  úplne"    "kouř -> kour"  "pricemž  -> pricemz"

I am pretty sure that a selected char set could accommodate even accented characters.
 

ISO-8859-1 set:

[quote user="SteveH"]I agree that in an HTML editor, the only way is to create a link, but why does pmail automatically concert it to a clickable link when rich text is switched off.[/quote]

In plain text, PM recognizes links beginning 'http://' and makes them clickable. (Also does similar with email addresses.)

In HTML (also called rich text) it renders what is there.  If the HTML does not contain properly coded links then you won't see any.

Thanks Thomas

I will check it out

Here's an update on my situation.  I renamed the existing PMAIL directory to PMAILold and proceeded with a clean installation of WinPMail.  The application appears to be working fine and doesn't crash upon exiting or launching other applications.  I will slowly attempt to bring over my old mail folders, distribution lists, etc....

So it looks like everything is back to normal.  Thanks for the help.

Thank you, sir. That seems to have worked.  Now we'll give it the test of time.

Hi,

First off, this is a great program. Congrats and keep up the great work.

I use multiple monitors (actually a laptop and an external monitor connected) with my desktop spread over the two of them.

I like to open my email, and slide it over to the secondary monitor, and leave it there all day while I do my normal work on the laptop main screen.

There is a very annoying trait of Pegasus that does not keep pop-up dialog boxes, like Spell Checker or Reply Options dialog boxes, overlayed on the desktop area containing Pegasus. Whenever the spell checker runs, it appears to be trying to center itself on the total area of the two screens - which ends up being on the right hand edge of the laptop (extension screen is to right)   And, whenever I do a Reply, the dialog box ends up being on the left hand side of the main laptop screen, regardless of where I have Pegasus application located on the desktop at the time.

 I would suggest the child dialog boxes initial positions should be set to CENTER OF OWNER to make this more convenient.

Thanks Martin. I'll see if anyone comes up with another idea also  that will enable me to play around with the text -- but this is one way at least to see the hierarchy fully.

Cheers.

1.    Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info and not the home mail directory.

2.    Exit WinPMail and go to your HOME mail directory.  

3.    Open the file state.pmj for editing.  Go to the [General] section and delete the lines starting V4FP= then save and exit.  

You'll get the defaults when you restart WinPMail.

Check the setting of Tools | Options | Basic settings "Allow read messages to stay in the new mail folder" If this is not checked the new mail marked "read" will be moved to the folder that you have selected as the "Default" folder.

And that did the trick.. thanks muchly Tom! [H]

Yes.  The urgent flag is to bring something to your attention.  Since you saw and did "something" to the message it's not all that urgent anymore.

Not possible.
