IERenderer seems quite technical and I note that there are frequent versions, updates and fixes. Before I take the plunge I would like to know its purpose so I can decide whether it's worth my ongoing effort to keep it up to date.
I have a substantial number of folders that I want to move to a new user so that the list of my active folders is more manageable. Right now all of the folders I want to move are in a single tray. Is there a way I can identify all of messages that belong to those folders so that I can move them en masse to a new user folder? And if so, how to keep the messages in the same folders.
My wife and I have been using Gmail with Pegasus on separate computers for years and it stopped working for her on 6/20/21. That's the last day she could either send or receive email. (She's using v4.73.639)
As far as I can tell, she didn't do anything unusual on that day and my account has worked perfectly all along.
When she attempts to send an email, she gets: DESCRIPTION OF ERROR: Protocol error: The server has unexpectedly refused or failed a request made by Pegasus Email.
When she attempts to download email, she gets: The host claims the username and password is invalid. (She hadn't changed the password at that point and we've tried to change the password since, without any improvement)
In addition, Google started to send CRITICAL SECURITY ALERT emails: Sign in attempt was blocked. Someone just used your password to sign into your account from a non-Google app.
I can't remember exactly what happened then, but I searched for a solution on the internet and think that I actually followed a suggestion to try to list Pegasus as a trusted app, but I'm a little fuzzy about this after 8 months. (Nothing I tried ever worked)
This version fixes an issue with images not displaying due to a mixture of conditional VML and background images being provided by MSO sources.
Additonally it fixes a couple of minor issues partly applying to processing of pasted formatted content.
BTW: I held back the announcement to evaluate whether IER's new notification mechanism would get anyone to download the update without it - successfully as can be told from another thread :-)!
When I use the mouse wheel to scroll within an open mail, it crashes the programme. After re-start, that mail has vanished. Any suggestions to get rid of this problem?
I appear to have an invisible message folder. The PMM file is there. I can search for messages and it will find them in the search results, but I can't see it in the folder list. I've tried a folder repair with mbxmaint, and I've tried deleting heirarch.pm and cache.pm but still it is not visible in the list of folders. Any suggestions?
In the main screen area with preview mode operating there are three panes, mailbox tree on the upper left; messages list on the upper right; preview of message lower right. Window sizing seems to be problematic, the area devoted to message list can be sized but the new size is never remembered and upon relaunching Pegasus it defaults back to an oversize pane that can be temporarily resized but which does not persist when the system is closed and then reopened. Resizing the pane everytime is a pain, is this a bug? Can it be fixed? Is there a workaround?
Every time I open Pmail I get a message asking if I want to continue editing an email or delete it and continue. I respond to delete but the message persists and there is nothing in the Review Queued Message screen. I will appreciate any advice on how to get back to normal.
Yesterday I came to the realization that the portable (flash drive) instance of Pegasus Mail that I have been using for years started leaving remnants on host PCs in the form of the HTML image cache. I had figured out how to keep temporary files on the flash drive but an image cache didn't exists when I created this instance and hadn't entered my mind until now.. Leaving remnants bothers me so I am asking for your help in trying to determine whether my concern is global enough to be worth inquiring into alternatives. If you run a portable instance (excluding multi-user network), a response to the following questions would be greatly appreciated..
Why do you run uninstalled instead of installed?
Where is it run from (portable/flash drive, local HD, other)?
If located on a portable or flash drive do you have concerns about leaving temp and/or image cache files on a host PC?
BTW, I am making this request on both the PM-Win list and the Community Forum. There is no need to respond in both places.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I would like to send a small number of mails to several different people. From a list (a file) I must send eg. 25 Invitations. Instead of sending almost the same mail 25 times to different people, I could imagine that in a file is basic info, and then Pegasus mail it to the 25 automatically. The file contains "Name", "Mail Address" "Subject Text", "1. Line text", "Text" and which files to attach, which are also listed in the script file. It is the same files for all mails. For example.: The script must then send a mail so that the following stands in the mail To: Prince Andrew Subject: Invitation to my Birthday
1.Line in Mail: Dear Prince Andrew and Family You are hereby invited ..... and Several Lines Follows.
Fixes the update notification feature to work for Pegasus Mail versions as of 4.73 instead of only the not yet released v4.8 and later (sorry for hosing this one ...). I also modified its implementation to the extent of only enabling the update links (in IER's toolbar button menu and its About ... dialog) if an update is actually available. If you feel the need to trigger a download of a repository version there's a link to the history page in IER's help file which can still be accessed via its button menu.
Added an INI file entry called UpdateNotification (default value YES) especially to be used by client-server network administrators to prevent client users from triggering (hopefully anyway futile) update attempts by disabling all notifications and links (see previous paragraph) even if updates are actually available. For doing so they would need to create an IERenderer.ini just containing the line UpdateNotification=NO into the server directory containing IERenderer.dll. It'll simply override all respective client user settings.
Fixed an issue with some confirmation dialogs not honoring a No anymore after recent changes related to the domain block list implementation.
Since migrating to Windows 10 Pro on a new machine, all received message body text is in blue unless I select the alternative view (when available), in which case any embedded images are of couse not displayed
When I send myself a rich text message I can make the text any colour other than black - that becomes blue when I receive the email.
This does not happen on any other machine with Windows 10 Pro.
I cannot find any reference to this anywhere on the web. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
For those of you already using it or encountering crashes and hangs or freezes: I've updated my MiniDump reporting extension for better supporting the upcoming Pegasus Mail v4.8 and reporting some more details in the automatically created message for submitting the dump file. It may be downloaded from .
My ISP is Plusnet in the UK and I have checked with them that my setting of "relay.plus.net" in the Server Host Name of the Settings for Sending Mail (SMTP) page, is correct.
I have 47 PMail folders and recently found I can't reorder them (right click "Move selected entry" fails). Also have one folder with "data error encountered in folder" upon trying to "reindex folder" and then "recover deleted space". I manually deleted the referenced .pmi file identified by "recover deleted space" and "folder information", but no luck. Any suggestions on deleting the blank folder or moving entries?
This version applies some fixes to the browser menu handling to ensure a more consistent display of the manually added browser on Tools => Options => Hyperlinks. And it also takes care to reestablish the alphabetical sort order after switching IDs in Pegasus Mail.
Then I've implemented a visual two step notification mechanism for IER updates like this:
First one is an addition to the toolbar button with a proper description showing up below the mouse pointer (and sorry, the buffer size for the hint text is pretty limited):
Second one is the menu with a red dot indicating the item to click for being directed to this history page here:
Both of them will only show up if an update is actually available. The update check is done on startup if an Internet connection exists.
Additionally I've transformed the former download link on this page into an easier to spot download "button" on top of the page.
Starting with this version I'm going to provide a repository of previous IER versions linked to the respective version announcement so you might reinstall an older version if getting into serious trouble with an update. I'm certainly not going to do it for restoring little bugs like the one fixed with the previous version, though, i.e. 2.6.5.3 would replace 2.6.5.2 instead of both being provided.
After several unsuccessful attempts I finally figured out how to get my own multiline version of a tooltip below the IER button for update notifications (and only for these, the default ones will keep the aspect of Pegasus Mail's default as shown farther below) to provide some more instructions on what to do next, here it is in Win 7 design (on Win 10 certainly looking a little cleaner):
I also took the chance to directly open IER's history & download page from the menu instead of bringing up even more possibly annoying dialogs before the download can be triggered. You may try it by testing the older version if you've already installed the previous one and try to use the update notification for downloading this one.
To make testing complete I'm also providing a link to the first "repository" version even though it doesn't completely match the criteria to be really significant - just for testing.
Can't get away without the usual quick fix, here comes and will also be included with the imminent Pegasus Mail 4.8 update, of course:
Unfortunately I didn't have all background color issues fixed as announced for the previous update which has been caught up on now.
Then I've taken care that dismissing the BlockList confirmation dialog without making a choice doesn't automatically result in downloading redirected images.
Furthermore I added the name of the domain being blocked or allowed for redirection to the confirmation request message to decide on.
And I would like to add that I also fixed for the previous update already the on/off effect of the URL tooltips while moving across larger linked pictures.
When I read incoming messages, the text goes way over the right boundary rather than wrapping at the length I have set in the message reader under incoming mail. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
It's been over a month since David Harris blogged that Pegasus Mail would be out in a couple of weeks.... How much longer? It's been years since the last update, but mail has made great strides and now there are so many competing programs, please give me one good reason not to leave Pegasus Mail!
