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.

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?

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)

You know how when you "forward" a message, you get a red arrow in the

first column of the new mail folder.  Can you sort or make a filter for

that?

You can filter on "Attributes" of a message and you might want this as a new mail folder close filter.

Thanks!

That solved the problem.

It turned out a "cleverly" constructed spammail was the culprit.

All the best,

Henrik

I suspect the session with your ISP is timing out due to the size of the attachment.  I suggest you can do one of two things.

1. Using Windows Explorer go to the Pegasus Mail NewMail directory and you will find a file that is bigger than your video clip with a filetype of .pnx ,  delete it.  The original video clip will still exist.  This is the queued message waiting to be sent.

2.  Increase the SMTP timeout value via menu Tools/Internet Options/Sending   Select the host you use and click on Edit.  Update the Timeout seconds to a larger number such as 300. click OK to save new value.

or

 Compress the video clip with Wnzip or some such tools to reduce the filesize. The filetype part of the filename will change to .zip.

Try sending again.

Hi,

 does anybody know this effect ?

After the last reboot the Pegasus Mail Folder window shows the Icons not completely. If I go over the button with the mouse pointer it appears completely but overlaps the first row of the window.

 Please look at the screenshots:

I tried to reinstall Pmail, I deletet the pmail.ini, I restored from a backup, nothing helps, it seems to me as if there is something in the registry ?

Thanks for every hint

 
regards

Mike

I have seen this before, specifically when settings had been changed under windows.

Try to rename the file state.pmj to state.sav and restart Pegasus Mail again.

That file keeps the settings....

However, just in case it might contain a valid message, .cnm files can be opened using notepad, so you can check the contents of the message before deleting it.

Check Tools | Options | Sending mail

Do you have a check on:
Send attachments as separate messages?


Also check:
Don't add 'attachment information' sections to multipart messages

Does this correct the issue?

Is it possible to extract just the body of an email message to a file (in rules) ?

Not unless you use the "Run a program" and write your own program to do this.

[quote user="chicot"]After 11 years of use Pegasus mail is asking me for my username before it boots up! Can someone please explain this new phenomenom.[/quote]

I assume yuo cannot get it started at all.  This normally happens when you run the program and it cannot even find the mail directory specified in pmail.cfg.  Have you changed anything recently?  You can use pconfig.exe to verify where WinPMail is looking for the new mail directory.

Anne,

Try Vincent Fatica's XClose32 plugin. Among other useful things, it will force Pegasus to the foreground when you double click the tray icon.

This plugin is not in the plugin area. Links to it are buried in the http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/3392.aspx thread.

There is one thing this plugin will not do. Many computers have a special key assigned to open the email client. Pegasus will not grab focus when opened/restored that way.

HTH,

Hello there,

I checked and we are using the latest mstsc file for windows 2000. However, I found some more details about the problem. The flashing starts when typing a new mail and becomes even more frantic when more mails are opened in a separate window.

Thank you!!

There is a filter that allows you to print the message and if your fax system has a printer interface and you set that as the default in WinPMail then this should work.  You can also set the option to "Run a program" and this forwards the message to the program.  The program can of course do anything you want it to do as long as you are willing to write a program.

The filters can key on most anything in the message headers or body to cause a selective action. 

I use WinXP and Pegasus 4.41 without the cursor/focus problem you experience.

This may be a long shot. In Tools |  Options... | User interface | Reporting/logging  there is a checkbox controlling a "Telltale" notification about new email. Perhaps the telltale window steals focus from the active window? Unless there is a problem with the POP3 connection (in which case you

get an error dialog) the new mail notification would be a prime suspect. This is just my best guess, though, because I don't use the telltale window myself.

There's another ongoing thread about the font problem in Vista; I think maybe you already posted there.

Erik

Many thanks Thomas for your useful feedback!
Will explore your suggestions..

Mike
