Copies to self are only generated from the editor.  These can never be generated when you bypass the editor like when you

do a forward without editing or send directly from the queue.  If you look at the raw view you'll see why.   Checkout what happens with you forward a message without editing and try and figure out how to convert that to a real copy self that could be resent.  The only thing that would be possible is to do something like a Bcc:.

Assuming you are not in a Netware environment (I don't know if it will work the same).

MAKE A BACKUP OF THE MERCURY & MAIL FOLDERS. 

Copy the entire Mercury folder & mail folders to the SAME LOCATION on the new box (i.e. C:\Mercury -> C:\Mercury)

If you have to change location or drive letter you will need to edit the Mercury.ini and any .rul or other .ini files that have the old paths in them.

Start mercury on the new machine, ensure it runs as expected.

Stop mercury & run the latest installer, currently 4.52, 4.6 is due any day now [:)]  but don't wait for it because the 3.x series has some security flaws.

Make sure to choose the "Upgrade" option and it will pick up all your old settings.

Verify that it is working properly, THEN point your DNS to the new server and 'retire' the old one.

Shouldn't take more than about 30 mins.

5.0 would be wonderful ever as a outright purchase

4.41  with some tweaks is well worth another donation

[quote user="Greenman"]We each have a choice in the matter. If you don't make the attempt to educate someone, then what's the point of the forum? If someone persists in their troll-like ways, then that is the point at which they will be ignored.[/quote]

Oh yes, we certainly do, but on reading the initial post, I just didn't think there would be much point in undertaking such an attempt. Seems like I was wrong. And I'm glad too :-)

To return to the topic, partly on account of ModernMan's reply, I agree that the default setting had better be changed, and as far as I'm concerned, the same applies to the default copy-to-self setting in Tools | Options | Messages and replies, which I believe should be "On".

Cheers!
Steffan

[quote user="ddmartin"]Is some way how to remove this errors or hide these error messages?[/quote]

I understand the next version of Pegasus Mail will remove the pop-up window and just log the errors to the System Messages window.

IIRC, the system uses the ~a to identify the current location so you could put the wav file in the home mail directory and use the ~a.

Here's some more information about substitutions and it looks like my memory is faulty.  ;-)

 

Most of the entries in this screen which accept strings allow
you to use special command substitution characters in the strings:
these are like "escape sequences" which will cause PMail to perform
some substitution at run-time. Command substitutions always begin
with a tilde (~) character, and are always two characters long.
The following command substitutions are recognised:

   This sequence...   Is replaced with this value

   ~c       The full path to the file containing the message
   ~t       The address to which to send this message
            (note: this is not necessarily the To: field)
   ~s       The message's subject field
   ~f       The full form of the message's "from" field
   ~n       The sender's user name in its simplest form
   ~b       The sender's bindery id, as a long hex integer
   ~8       The first 8 chars in the sender's username
   ~y       The time and date in RFC-822 format
   ~d       A random integer, expressed as 4 hex digits
   ~q       Y if this message is a BCC, N otherwise
   ~%name%  The value of the environment variable %name%.
   ~p       The user's personal name preference
   ~x       The name.ext ONLY of the container file (no path)
   ~a       The directory from which PMail was run (or base directory)
   ~h       The current user's home mailbox location
   ~w       The current user's new mail location
   ~~       A single tilde character.

Thomas,
2 things:
1. My Printer def is with default Windows drivers for the HP4L,
2. Is your printer (network) on a Print Server such as LinkSys or NetGear or is it just a share network printer?
Nowadays my printer is a shared printer hooked to one of the systems on the local lan.  At work, my printers were networked and in some cases the default printer was not even in the same state.    My personal default printer though was a HP 4si on one of the corporate print servers (generally these were Windows servers) and the lan being down caused me no problems at all.

I

ask as, if I follow you logic out all the way, I would think the

NetGear drivers could effect this.  But I'm not buying because I've had

same printer and print server for over 10 years, and was not getting

this problem with PMail versions 3.x.  Problem only started when I went

to PMail 4.x versions.  That logic points to a flaw in the PMail.

I doubt this since the way that PMail checks how to display the fonts has not really changed in years, it simply asks the printer driver via a windows call.  The older printer drivers very seldom, if ever, checked to see if the printer was on line  when asked how to display the fonts.  Newer ones, especially HP seem to do this more often.  FWIW, I've never had any experience with a dedicated hardware printer server.

I appreciate that you're not flaming.

I don't follow the Pegasus Mail discussions that much since I'm more like Link than Neo (Matrix) thus I follow more closely the Mercury threads, but I'd like to read up on your case if I may. What are the threads you're referring to?

Thank you so much!  This helped me too - it was driving me nuts.

 I have Pegasus Mail v4.61 running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Marco,
Could it be related to some properties which maybe were accidentally assigned to your "New mail" (inbox) folder (right mouse button) such as "... open filter set" etc.? That's the part I would check. Well, wild guess. Maybe someone else might know more ...
