Greetings!

 Thank you for the suggestions.  I followed them and tried a new search.  The search processed, but no results window appeared at all.  I tried again and same result.  So I closed Pegasus and re-opened and tried again, still no search results window at all.  I tried the Window Cascade menu option...no help.  Finally, I opened up the Folders window and check the Recent Searches Folder and there were all my searches and yes the column sizes were as I had hoped. [:D] I tried another search and this time the search window appeared.  Ummmm.  I closed the Folder Window and tried another test search .... no search window show, but it does when the Folders Window is opened.

 So thank you for your answer.  I usually always have the Folders Window opened, but others may not.  Don't know if this is by design or a bug. [*-)] I can live with it this way, but it seems that if you are able to perform a search the results should appear whether or not you have the Folders Window open.

Again, many thanks for your solution!!

 Best Regards

First thing that comes to mind is that there is nothing that shows a Mercury User Defined Gateway.  Use PCONFIG.exe from the WinPMail program directory and check this out.

Thomas - that was it!

Because the pmail folder containing the mailboxes and the program had been copied between servers, and the old (pre-mercury) gateway existed, when I updated Pegasus Mail, I forgot about updating the gateway. So, because Mercury32 was working fine, it did not occur to me that this was the problem.

As has been said, the key was in the fact that Pegasus Mail must know that Mercury is present to allow Automatic Replies to work. Now that I have defined a (correct) Mercury gateway and deleted the old one (which pointed to a Pegasus Mail account), the Automatic Replies feature is now available.

Many thanks

It worked as you predicted, Thomas.  One wonders how those files slipped up there.  Thanks a million..

Yes, that box is checked. I have also set the "name for default mail folder" parameter in the Options --> basic settings as the IMAP new mail folder.

 I do have the "Automatically the new mail folder at startup" parameter unchecked at this point. I tried leaving it checked, but that only opens the new mail folder on the local machine, not the one from the IMAP interface.

Is there some other setting I don't see?

[quote user="HolyHarp"]I must say that I would find it useful to be able to delete an attachment, and then move the file w/o saving it first.  [/quote]

Things are going to change a lot with implementing the new MailStore back-end as currently being developed by David Harris.

[quote user="bstiefel"]

My client is running pegasus client with native netware support and mercury backend.  The name of the domain the company is using has changed, however the old one is still active.  I have chnaged the client to show the new domain for return address however one client still shows the old return address domain.  I have deleted the config file and recreated them however it still shows the old domain name in the return address

[/quote]

 

Did you change the domain name via pconfig.exe?  If Pegasus mail is sending via the Netware queue using the normal Netware queue support the From: address comes from the queue.  In addition, the users mail address may have set in the "Extended features" 

══════════════════════════ Edit extended features ═══════

Andrew, you're not alone... I had the same problems and couldn't find a way to force reloading the definitions file(s). Tried disabling/enabling, changing threshold, editing in internal editor w/o saving, all to no avail.

BTW, that is how I found out that the internal editor won't let you edit an oversize file, but you can still save it - truncated :-(

/E 

No responses on this, but just FYI, I had this feeling that the problem might be related to putting Pegasus in "offline" mode. So, I for the past 4 days I have not put it in offline mode, and the problem has not re-surfaced. So, there appears to be a relationship there.

 Now, if I can only figure out what to do to get the filters working again, once they have stopped. At this point I don't have any ideas for that.

 But, hopefully the relationship between going offline and filters stopping will be helpful to someone.

 

 

Without seeing the message as received it is difficult to be certain, but likely the message does not display at all, or badly, because the Pegasus Mail Tidy validator will have expected tags cut off by the truncation and tried (in vain) to fix the stream.

The webserver needs configuring to conform to RFC standards of maximum line length (RFC 821and RFC822) when using a SMTP engine to send mail.

HI Thomas,

> Any one know how to fix this, or what exactly the problem might be?

1.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info and note the HOME mail
    directory.  Exit WinPMail.

2.    Go to the HOME mail directory and edit the state.pmj file.

3.  Locate the [Reader] section of the file and delete the
    Attmt line.  You might just want to edit it, here's a good
    one.

[READER]
Digests=155,206,731,309,"216,268,128,0"
Body=0,0,798,486,"156 100 0"
Attmt=0,0,0,0,"138 0"
Ann=0,0,0,0,"0"

- or -

Slide the mouse pointer toward the top of the "blank attachment page" and when it becomes cruciform, depress the left mouse button and drag the invisible separator downwards.

Thanks [Y]

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.  
[/quote]

I ran it and it recommended I set my MTU to 1500, which I did. Apparently, it was not set (the box was blank when "Current Settings" was selected. I'll use Pmail some more and see if there is a change in behavior.

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.
[/quote]

 I have an NVidia NForce 2.

 Thank you so very much for your reply. It's given me a new avenue of actions to try.

I orginally posted this in the mercury forum, so I appologise for the double post.

I am a consultant and have been supporting a company that uses mercury32 and pmail32 with NDS support for years.  I have just recently come across a weird issue where the New Mail folder doesnt refresh until the user changes folders then returns back to New Mail or closes and restarts Pmail32.  I've checked the users pmail config, checking refresh times, etc.  I am not using IMAP, and I have other users in the office running fine.  Not sure what changed.

[/quote]

 

How many message are in the new mail foldfer?  If there are too many (700?) then the auto-refresh is shut down.

 

[/quote]

I currently only have 22 in mine, and have the exact same problem. It also seems to apply to any folder, not just the New Mail folder, ie. I have to go to another folder and return to see the updated list.

I have a question to add to this discussion: is there a Refresh view shortcut key, eg. some apps use F5, does PMail have anything similar?

Jose, try Select instead of Find.

For simple cases like selecting all messages by a certain sender use Quick select. First manually select one message from this sender, then invoke Messages | Quick select | Perform quick selection.

For more complex cases use 'Select' toolbar button or the Messages | Select... menu item. This opens the 'Select messages...' dialog, where you can specify a number of criteria to be checked.

Cheers,
Erik 

Many Thanks Thomas -  thats a very comprehensive reply - I must admit that it sounds a bit complicated but I will persevere..

 I feel that more questions may arise.....

Thanks again. 

I am not getting the error initializing printer part, but I am getting Error Creating Font / CreateOneFont errors now out of the blue.

I can print fine at anytime during these messages so my printer is online.  I have tried removing it, switching printing to PDFCreator and even wiped out my Pegasus install and reinstalled everything including the latest BearHTML and virscan.

I have been using this since Windows 3.11 days :), other than a few glitches here and there (mostly with uncommonly formatted HTML and hyperlinks) this program has been spot on.  I have no desire to change even if all updates cease.

If anyone has a clue, I'd appreciate it.
 

 

Martin, thanks for the explanation. I checked SURBL and it turns out they had already blacklisted the URL.

I seem to vaguely remember getting a "no entry" mouse pointer when pointing at a blacklisted URL, which did not happen this time. Today I tried clicking it. I got a dialog box warning me about phishing, so everything works just fine. So my memory is probably not just vague, but plain wrong. (I realize that checking every URL up front would lead to a lot of network traffic.)

Erik 

Awesome! It worked!

 

Thank you!!!
