I've not seen that before. Do you experience any display problems in any other applications? If you sort this out via email with Thomas Stephenson please post the solution.

Have you looked at the permissions settings of the PMAIL directories you installed to on Vista?

Right click on the folder names in the explorer view and right click on it  and select properties then select the security tab from the displayed dialog box. Select your user name from the "Group or User Names" list at the top, and see which permissions are allowed and/or denied in the list at the bottom of the dialog.

 
You can do the same on your working XP machine and see if the settings are exactly the same or not.
 

[quote user="DonPedro"]alchemist,

how did you manage to install avg8 that you got only the on-demand command-line version running?
[/quote]

Just turn off the "resident shield" in the AVG8 setup.   If you leave it on exclude the Pegasus Mail and TEMP directories from the active scanning. 

 

I had renamed the original version of wi_sph.dll to wi_sph.dll.old and replaced it with wi_sph.dll from the zipped update, Explorer shows 1.1.0.160 as the version number for the latter file. Looking back the only slightly odd thing during the process was that Explorer changed the capitalization of the file from WI_sph.dll to wi_sph.dll but I assumed that wouldn't make any difference. I'm not sure where Pegasus got the old version number from once the files had been replaced with the newer versions - perhaps I should have deleted the old files completely rather than just changing their extensions?

The Tools | Options | Mailbox location function of V4.xx is broken.  In order to move the mailbox location you must either use v3.12c or  

1.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info and note the current HOME mail
    directory.  It's generally the same as the NEW mail directory.

2.  Exit WinPmail.

3.  Edit pmail.ini file in the NEW mail directory and change the
    following line to point at the new HOME mail directory. These are
    using the UNC format to point at server ESVCS, volume C_DRIVE, directory
    MAIL, subdirectory THOMAS


Home mailbox location                = \\ESVCS\C_DRIVE\MAIL\THOMAS
Working home mailbox location    = \\ESVCS\C_DRIVE\MAIL\THOMAS

3.  Move all of the files from the HOME mail directory to the new HOME
    mail directory but DO NOT move pmail.ini.

<user name=""></user>

Sure, Pegasus has this option.

 

Select the identity you created for your Yahoo account.

Go to your internet settings for this identity.

Select the POP3 and/or SMTP Tab.

Double-Click on the server, the config dialog will appear.

Here you can change the port number, in the second tab ("security") you can enable SSL. (Note: Pegasus changes the ports automaticly, if you use SSL)

 

Hope this will help you.

I have 4.02a installed on my Windows 2003 server with around 40 users.  How do I upgrade instead of a new install?

 [/quote]

 

I assume that you have installed Pegasus on the server and each user runs an instance of the prorgam off a mapped network drive, and each has a mailbox configured in their own "home" directory there...

 

If so, that is how we had ours configured... in which case: 

When you run the Setup program on the server, it will detect the previous installation and the initial "Welcome to Pegasus" dialog page will display an "Update" button alongside the "New Install..." and "Exit" buttons.

 

Selecting the "Update" button will install the new program version on top of the older version and retain all the existing settings.

I recently upgraded from 4.3x to 4.41 in this way. I also made sure that nobody was running Pegasus or had anything open prior to installation.

I don't know if there are any special considerations when going from 4.02a to 4.41.

 
Of course, when installing software on servers (and elsewhere), always make sure you have recent backups. 

 

You really need to update your version of Bearhtml. The current version of Bearhtml can be obtained from:
 my website:  http://www3.telus.net/public/irelam/Bear453.zip, or from this Community website under "downloads"

Please note you will also have to download bearsupport.zip  and bearen.zip (helpfile) from the same location.

 The POP3/SMTP transmissions may fail if the MTU packet size is so large that a packet is fragmented.  In many cases the receiving system router blocks the receiving servers "packets fragmented" response to the sending system using "MTU Discovery".  These oversize packets are not accepted and so are resent.  This results in a timeout, generally at the end of the message transmission but it can be anywhere in the process.  You need to reduce the MTU size. Windows defaults to a 1500 MTU and many routers and DSL connections need 1492.  You might simply want to turn off the MTU Discovery operation.

You might want to get a copy of SG TCP Optimizer that I find quite handy.  http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php  This little utility will allow you to test your MTU for maximum size without fragmentation against specific servers.  If will also make it easy to adjust the MTU.  

And finally, does this computer, by chance, happen to have an NVidia NForce 4 chipset on the motherboard?  If so, many other have had this exact problem, and it turned out to be an optimization setting for the built in NIC which caused the problems with packet fragmentation. Disabling the advanced optimization capability called "checksum offload" made all the problems of sending SMTP mail via WinPMail disappear.

I think I found it: this comes from a web filter used by the G-DATA security program. I found a language filter, disabled it, and the header additions are gone.

What a relief.

Thanks for your patience.

Your explanation above did the trick. I experimented with "leave on server" option. Then tried "delete message on server" and now have the rule set doing what I wanted.

Much appreciated.

It just occurred to me that the problem could be in the receiving end.

Pegasus probably has to do some clean-up before displaying the message,

because HTML is notoriously misused.

I've finally figured out why mine worked and yours did not and I should have thought of this long ago.  I'm using the closed beta v4.61 and you are using v4.41.  It does not work in v4.41 either with the built-in mailer or the Mercury/32 queue, it's been fixed for v4.61.

So I tried sending a message from Pegasus and receiving it using

Mozilla Thunderbird. The result was as before (image retained,

hyperlink lost). So it seems to me that the problem occurs when Pegasus

sends the message. And it's repeatable, no success with any of the ~10

test messages I have sent.

Thunderbird v3.0 cannot display the graphic but clicking on the window where the graphic should be displayed does open the URL when I sent from v4.61.  OE and Outlook work as specified.

 

I created a folder in Pegasus Mail named Messages Forwarded.  Under it are subfolders named for individuals I routinely forward or bounce mail to.  That is where I put the original, a copy of the original, or the copy to self of a forward.

Oh hey,

If PMail went with MySQL for mail organization/storage, then having online repository for sync would be easy, with subscription.  David needs to think about this as it would be additional revenue generator.

Having used a number of SQL type applications I  really would not want to be using this type of operation to sync between a lap top and a desk top system on a regular basis.  Recovering a corrupted database  without a daily backup on the system would be a nightmare.  I really do not like putting all of my eggs in one basket.  Right now if I lose a folder I've lost just one set of mail.  If I were to lose an SQL database all the mail is gone.

 

 

Great thought!

Hello,

I just set up Ubuntu on my computer. Is there a Pegasus version that will work in Linux? Any and all help appreciated. Thank you.

[/quote]

I run Mercury/32 and WinPMail on Ubuntu v7.10 with Wine 0.9.59.  Mercury/32 works without problems.  WinPMail  generally works either as standalone or with Mercury/32  except that when sending a new message or forwarding without editing to program  is shutdown by Wine. Replying and forwarding with editing work.  I've not yet loaded Ubuntu v8.04, but I suspect that it will work in a similar manner.

This problem have been reported to Wine and so far I cannot see that there has been any progress at all with the fix.  I have been told this used to work back around Wine v0.9.20 or so but I cannot verify this. 

 

 

thanks to everybody who tried to help, my son informs me that when Pegasus mail updated, it lost the register settings to the virgin.net e-mail account, he does not know why the zen e-mail account carried on working ok, all is now sorted.

Thanks

Thanks Thomas. I understood your explanation of how it currently works and how to avoid it for now.

I just noticed  there is a "suggestions  and wishlists" section in this forum. Should I add an improvement request entry there... or is that even used by David and his team?

[/quote]

 

Not sure if it's used at all, it's the one forum I never look at though.  You certainly can add this if you wish but I do not know if David even looks at the forum either. 

 

Yes, you can try to edit the file you attached as follows

 

Change all "o:p"  strings to just "p"  Ignore the double quotes. 

Save the file as Debemail.cnm in your Pegasus Mail newmail directory (c:\pmail\mail ?) 

Open Pegasus Mail again 

(Background, just another Microsoft attempt at complicating html messages)
