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.

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"

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.

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.

 

[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]>

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!!!

Not without rewriting the extension and that's something you'll have to do yourself.

it you know how to write and extension, and I do not, this may be possible.  The real point is that there is another application available to do this and, Mercury/32.  It's easy, fast and quick to run Mercury/32 and forget about using an outdated and no longer supported Pegasus Mail extension.

The switch between users is going away, caused to many support problems and there is of course the mail security problem. You can already run as many instances of Pegasus Mail as you want if allowed by the postmaster so this should be no problem.

You got it.  Dump MultiPOP and go to Mercury/32.  ;-)

I have always assumed that the address in Tools/Internet Options/General was to enable Pegasus to download the correct mail from my ISP as well as putting the "From" address on the message.

Hey Presto!  I have taken your advice and my emails now appear as I wanted.  Shows the value of this forum!!

 Many thanks indeed.

I have noticed a problem with forwards and replys that have 

"Custom headers for this message" under Special F9.   Are they

there? When the lines in the custom headers

are removed the mail goes through in my situation.
