CLUELESS SLOW SPEED NEWBEE ; SEEKING INFO

BobKellock posted Aug 31 '08 at 7:08 pm

[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.

Pmail won't get mail from gmail account

tigershark posted Aug 26 '08 at 10:38 am

As Thomas posted already, either (a) or (d) is the configuration you need to receive mail.

PMail 4.41 does not see attachment in a forwarded email message

Thomas R. Stephenson posted Aug 22 '08 at 5:58 pm

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.

Problem printing images imbeded in emails. They come out as gray rectangles.

eug4not posted Aug 26 '08 at 2:19 pm

Hi Martin, I forwarded the email to you along with a message but a problem might have occured. I'll forward it again without the message, in case the forwarding didn't get through.

after changing e-mail address Pegasus sends from the old address but never from the new one

Renata posted Aug 22 '08 at 1:27 am

Hey, this worked! Thank you!

Actually I had to change the address in the general settings and then disable the smtp thing from the host I did not want to be used :-)

*.pnx files

Thomas R. Stephenson posted Aug 21 '08 at 9:58 pm

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.

pmail desktop

Thomas R. Stephenson posted Aug 21 '08 at 6:23 pm

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.

Mercury and "User <name@xxx.com> not known at this site"

martin_nv posted Aug 22 '08 at 1:03 am

It is working now, sounds like the culprit was needing to fill out the "Reply E-mail" setting in Outlook.

Sorry about the munged data, next time i'll do a straight cut 'n paste.

Thank you very much for your assistance, Thomas.

Delay in opening mail

ronb999 posted Aug 21 '08 at 1:22 am

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

An unwanted URL path is inserted in my email bodies.

StanH posted Aug 21 '08 at 7:32 am

[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:

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.

Please explain why some emails display unwanted characters?

StanH posted Aug 20 '08 at 9:38 pm

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]... use UTF-8 all the time and it will be able to handle your mixing of plain text and high bit characters.[/quote]

I changed Pegasus advanced settings to UTF-8 charset and forwarded the offending document to myself. The subject line still contained â€“. Then I noticed that the dash in the original email (in Pegasus) was longer than usual so I replaced it with a normal -. Now the dash displays correctly. As you say, I must have pasted the original from Word.

Thanks, Stan Hilliard

Cannot view attachments after upgrade from AVG 7.5 to AVG 8.0? I think?

irelam posted Aug 20 '08 at 7:45 pm

Hello,

We need more info in order to help you. Such as version of Pegasus Mail being used. There are a large number of threads dealing with AVG8 in this community, mostly dealing with being unable to virus scan attachments. But for now, do you have a virus vault with a total size greater than 5 megabytes? AVG 8 puts files in the quarentine folder until the limit (user settable) is exceeded then it just silently deletes them.

PMAIL won't work from a WEB SITE

OldDane posted Aug 26 '08 at 12:33 am

Now PMAIL works as it should .

A resume of the Registration file:

Version 1 which was failing

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\Protocols\mailto\DefaultIcon]

C:\\PMAIL\Programs\wsendto.exe,0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\Protocols\mailto\shell\open\command]

C:\PMAIL\Programs\wsendto.exe %1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\shell\open\command]

C:\PMAIL\Programs\WINPM-32.EXE

Version 2 Peter Strömblad's pmail.reg

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\Protocols\mailto\DefaultIcon]

C:\PMAIL\Programs\WINPM-32.EXE,1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\Protocols\mailto\shell\open\command]

C:\PMAIL\Programs\WINPM-32.EXE -A -T %1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\shell\open\command]

C:\PMAIL\Programs\WINPM-32.EXE -A

This work very well on http://www.lundskov.dk/menu/menu-citat.htm

but on

http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/ i.e. Han van den Bogaerde's Web Site strange things happend.

On the line "A very interesting part about Pegasus Mail and Mercury MTA in English I clicked on Pegasus Mail and got the line "For an e-mail .....click here" And I clicked on 'click here'. A very short moment the fine picture about Pegasus came up and disappeared. PMAIL didn't open. I opened PMAIL and found that the e-mail form filled in with adress was hidden in Review queued mail... OK I thought I could live with that.

Of curiosity I went to C:\PMAIL\Programs and looked at the long list of files. Saw wsendto10.exe which anbecker mentioned 08-18-2008. What will happen if I click this one? I am an ignorant about all that utility stuff and to my astonishment a window showed up telling me about a utility 'WsendTo Installation' written by David Harris and which would improve the integration between the Web Browser and Pegasus.

I went further on and got

Version 3

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\Protocols\mailto\DefaultIcon]

C:\PMAIL\\Programs\WSENDTO.EXE,0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\PegasusMail\Protocols\mailto\shell\open\

command]C:\PMAIL\Programs\WSENDTO.EXE %1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\shell\open\command]

C:\PMAIL\\Programs\\WSENDTO.EXE

which does the job just as I want. Hurrah!

In my ignorance I thought PMAIL by itself started wsendt10.exe, so even in my year of 85 I have something to learn even if I have used PMAIL around 13 years :-)

Thank you all involved in my problem.

Kind regards

Gunnar

Restore mails for a resticted User account on Windows XP

Titus posted Aug 17 '08 at 8:08 pm

XP MCE seems to base on the Pro version... I had to change some options for displaying the folders and then the security tab was visible. I changed the rights and Pegasus seems to work propperly on my restricted account now - with my old data!

Many thanks for your quick help!

Qos and upload throttling?

Thomas R. Stephenson posted Aug 18 '08 at 12:31 am

Maybe you can confirm that ?

Yes and no. ;-) The Linksys model BEFSR41 version 4.0 and later does have the Qos option, the v3.0 and older do not. Of course you can set the priority of a running application in WinXP to do pretty much the same thing.
