Thanks very much.

I updated as you suggested and restored the two offending .cnm files which now opened ok.

Just a quick note to let the forum know that my problem of not receiving certain attachments has been corrected. Everything seems to be working quite nicely.

 

Thanks,

Thanks to all. I solved my problem essentially along the lines that you recommended. I can confirm that a normal installation in Vista is not the way to go. See my other post.

Hello all.

I have corrected this problem by (1) uninstalling PMAIL from Vista (This included removal though Programs and Features (Control Panel) which removed it from my user subdirectories, and manually deleting the PMAIL folder in Program Files) and (2) following the instructions in Moving your mailbox to another PC from the PMail Knowledge Base.  In retrospect I think my mistake was to allow the new version of PMAIL to install into \Program Files and then try to add the folder structures, etc. I could have copied the old version from my previous PC into a data directory on the new computer, as instructed in Moving your mailbox  and then updated to 4.41 in place.

The critical piece of missing info was that PMAIL does not install into the registry.  When Peter S supplied that bit of info I was able to figure out the rest of it. Thanks, Peter 

Just want to close the loop on this issue.  First things first:  Thanks to Martin and Thomas for their assistance.  Martin led me to the solution via PM.  Here is what he told me:

Looking at the raw view, I see that it was defined as multipart/alternative which is a 
pretty good sign that there is/was a Text and an Html part.  The boundary 
statements also suggest the same.  But there is no html part.
Also the end of message is marked by a "-- End" line.  The "--"  is part of a signal for 
mime multipart boundary markers.
So basically it is broken. How, I cannot begin to guess, sorry.

Which was indeed the case.  Some changes to the application and all is well.  Thanks again for the help!

I assume that the Win95 systems can talk to the WinXP systems at least via TCP/IP.  If this assumption is true install Mercury/32 on the XP system and have the Win95 system point to this host rather than the ISP.  Mercury/32 can receive the the mail either via the queue if networked of via MercuryS.  Mercury/32 can send all the mail via MercuryC using SSL.

OK thanks Thomas,

 
Please  tell me there is a way to delete the search results folders that doesn't involve clicking on each folder, then clicking delete. I have over 200 search folders.. and this is laborious after only 2!  Surely there is some keyboard shortcut for delete even if I can't select multiple copies?

Sorry, I can't help you have.   Any method I would use would involve working on the actual folders outside of WinPMail and that could quite easily result in other problems.  Might want to checkout Han v.d. Bogaerde's Pegasus Mail Links at http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/  He has provided a lot of information on Pegasus Mail for Windows including the keyboard shortcuts..

Hi guys,

 

   I have a problem.  I'm using Pegasus 4.4 and I have a set of old PINE messages I'd like to import into Pegasus.  I've used the trick of exporting the PINE messages to a file, copying the file over to my laptop, renaming that file with a .mbx extension, and then using the Add Folder to List option as directed on the website.  For the most part it works beautifully---except that for certain messages (it looks like they are the longer ones) the message gets split in half, with one of the messages picking up the relevant attributions and the others being orphaned with no subject line, sender, etc.  This is not terribly convenient (sometimes it's just a few messages, but for one folder it was about 100 of them).

   Does anyone know how to prevent or fix this?

 

                        Thanks,

                               Amanda
 

  

 
 

You will have to use the Shooter to send the information from Pegasus into an Ecco Calendar/Task/NotePad/PhoneBook.  You should be able to use the Person's name as the TLI with the text from the email as a subitem.

There is no way to link the email to Ecco TLI that I have been able to find in the years of using both. Use the Shooter to send the information over, and Pegasus filters,  search to find the full email if so required. Pegasus search/filters are second to none.

(Not sure how to "quote" on this system)

I have had similar problems when replying or forwarding. MOST often, this is because i use plain text and the "sent" email was in HTML format. I then select what i want to reply to or forward and Pegasus does the rest...

 

 

[quote user="PeterG"]Thanks, Thomas .... Please, how do I see the CNM files to restore them individually? I was sending as attachments about 85 minutes of stereo wave files and got the white screen non-responding problem on open. I now have successful opening having, in Windows Explorer, created a new folder and dragged the entire HF9M16VH.CNM from right pane to left pane into it. Was this the correct method? Must I change folder view to: "show hidden files" in order to restore files individually?

Not at all sure what you are doing with the left pane and right pane dragging stuff but a copy from one new mail directory to the other new mail directory is all that is required.[/quote]

Do you have your anti-virus software scanning the mail directories?  This sounds like a anti-virus scan of a PMM folder found what it though was a virus in a message in the folder and so removed the whole folder.

 

Hi<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I’m having problems with writing mail messages when I access the mail program remotely. When I write a text the cursor jumps erratically. Does enyone have this problem? What can I do to solve this?

/Susanne

> thanks, can you give me some direction as to how to look for those files and recover them?

Try  the following procedure.  This has worked for several others to restore
the functionality of the  message folders:   

1.      Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info to determine your mail directory.  Exit Pegasus mail.   

2.    Go to the HOME mail directory and look for the MAIN.PMM and MAIL.PMI files.  If they are missing then there is not much you can do.  If they exist then the hierarch.pm is probably messed up.   

3.      Rename the file HIERARCH.PM in your HOME mail directory to HIERARCH.SAV.  

4.      Run WinPMail.  Your HIERARCH.PM will be re-created and should start working correctly.  

Note:  This will delete any tray structure you have created and it
           will have to be recreated.  The process will not affect any
           mail of mail folders you have, it only affects the display of
           the folders.    

Absolutely right. Having woken it up it appears to be working as before in Cascade as well as Tile fpormat. Bizarre. Many thanks David Parker

As Marc says, if you don't check 'Rich Text' your mail is sent plain text, and most mailers (Pegasus Mail included) will recognize something that starts 'http://' as an HTML link and underline it.

If you check 'Rich Text' your mail will be sent as HTML (optionally with a plain text version), and you have to insert a link by using the 'link' button on the rich text toolbar to get it underlined and active.

Thanks, Paul. I had forgotten completely about that link button. Can't see the forrest for the trees, sometimes! [:)]

Firstly - when you wrote your instructions for SMTP, you gave (b)

for STARTTLS, and (c) SMTP via TLS.  I assumed that I would do either

one or the other, and chose to do (b) STARTTLS.  Am I OK there?

Correct.

 

Next - your answer about turning on ESTMP authorization in the

security tab of my SMTP setup -- I cannot find anything about ESMTP in

Pegasus' security tab on the SMTP setup.  Where would I get to this?

Use Tools | Internet Options | Sending (SMTP) and edit the POP3 definition.  Select the "Security" tab and select one of the options  for authorization and enter tyhe username and password or rthe POp3 definition.

 

 

Jad,

have no solution for your specific problem, but as an alternative to AVG I would recommend AntiVir (also free) from www.avira.com.

and I have a question too: does AVG 8 still allow to install without "active" on-guard scanner? this would provide a means to have two free av-tools installed, one active and on-guard, the other one as on-demand when one wants to get sure.

For the record the IMAPSize utility at  http://www.broobles.com/imapsize/  does a great job of manipulating IMAP folder data. 

The backup function will copy selected folders to the local hard drive.
