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.

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.

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.
