I have been following the discussion regarding the remote image handling now available in IER 2.6.5.0, specifically the ability to grant permissions that allow images from sources that are different from the sending source (eg: allowing redirection for image loading). When I think about this, I envision that it mostly pertains to ads and newsletters made up of synopsis/hyperlinks to articles from different sources. I believe that loading these images encourages the clicking of email links. When I managed a multi-user enterprise installation of Pegasus Mail I worked very hard to discourage hyperlink clickers. I did not train users on how to allow remote graphics instead showing them how to open messages in a browser. I know that things are changing and that I no longer attempt to keep up so would love to see a discussion today about whether clicking links in emails is any more hazardous than clicking the same links from within a browser. Forget about the convenience factor, just from a security standpoint, do browsers provide any additional security over what IERenderer provides with all of its security options enabled?

I've been trying to understand why emails I send to folks with Gmail addresses end up in their spam folder with a cautionary note added even if they create a filter to never send mail from me to spam. I thought it was a problem with my own domain host's mail system.

I just did a test sending email using Thunderbird and there was no spam warning when it arrived. Is this something to do with OAUTH2 that David said needed to be addressed in the next version of Pegasus mail?

Unfortunately, if it's a limitation with Pegasus v4.7.3, than this will be a sad day for me as I send emails to clients and others and they need to arrive in their inbox without any warnings. I would prefer to keep using Pegasus as it has so many features that I cannot easily find elsewhere.

Thank you to anyone who can confirm that this is indeed related to OAUTH2. Or is there a setting I need to change in Pegasus mail that's the culprit?

Happy holidays to all .... stay safe / stay well!

Hi Michael,
Hi guys,

Is there an opportunity to avoid the following error message in case any images, which should be loaded, are moved permanantly? This is annoying my users. I've checked the IERenderer settings but didn't find an option.
The affected sender addresses are already included in "list of allowed external images".

After using Pegasus every day for 20 years I have done 2 things on my Window 10 PC which results in Pegasus freezing when I try to do a basic command such as MOVE an email from one folder to another.

The two things I did were

1. Using ccleaner to update the drivers
2. Clean up the registry

I suspect (2) is the cause as it probably deleted items that Pegasus uses ?

(I am using Pegasus 4.71.565)

Back in version 4.12a, Pegasus allowed multiple user accounts under one iteration of Pegasus. Changing users was easily done from a File drop-down. In later versions, that option went away and multiple accounts required multiple Pegasus programs to be running. That, alone, sent me back to version 4.12a where I have been since the latter 2000s.

I would like to upgrade to a later version that has some HTML support but am reluctant to make the change because of the multi user issue. Has that change been backed out of Pegasus? I can upgrade and then reinstall 4.12a but I'd rather just ask first.

I use Pegasus via a windows home network, opening the ap from other computers on the network. This has worked fine for years, but now I can only send from the host computer. When sending mail on a networked client computer, the message stays on screen without sending.

Hi, Have used PMail since 2008 and never ran into this before: Had to reinstall or "reset" Win10 operating system, but chose option to keep all files and settings. All seems pretty normal, except default mail folder "Main" no longer worked. Everything read in New Mail Folder just stayed there, until I changed the name of "Main" to "Main-2021". Then read mail shifted when New Mail Folder was closed to "Main-2021" per normal. But Search function within "Main-2021" just doesn't work. Search works for all other folders, and I have every folder going back yearly from "Main-2008" to present (14 of them, each with around 3000 emails in each) and 14 equivalents folders for each year of "Copies to self". Spamhalter works well (have to delete every year or so). Home mailbox location is Path: <DEFAULT>. So, what do I edit to get "Main" recognized and working with search function again? Thanks in advance for all suggestions

I have extensive mail filtering rules in place to move incoming mail into fifty or so folders depending on the incoming mail address, subject, and the message content.

In the last couple of weeks I've been plagued by spam trying to interest me in property investment.
Not a major problem, the spam filter drops in into the spam folder - but it's been annoying to go through and delete that junk.

I want to set a filter that looks for a common thead and just deletes the message silently. One difficulty is that the spam claims to come from multiple domains . But, the unsubscribe option has a recognisable pattern in it for all of them '/mw/index.php/campaigns'.
But, adding that as a filter does nothing.
Should the pattern be formatted differently?

Next problem, in messing around with that and setting up a POP rule set I seem to have lost all my filtering rules. Rules applied when folder is opened now shows no rules in the list and the navigation bar shows |||||||||||||| when that window is in focus.
I really don't want to have to set all that up again, and have a backup of the Pegasus directory taken yesterday.
Which file or files should I restore to get my filters back?

Thanks Malcolm

How can I move a folder to another user?

Google are now forcing 2 Step Verification on a lot of users.
To view your Gmail within Pegasus, you will need to disable 2-Step Verification within Gmail's Security settings.

Once you have disabled 2-Step Verification you will then have the option to allow Less Secure Apps Access within Gmail's Security settings which is a requirement for using Pegasus with Gmail.

Future versions of Pegasus will hopefully fix this issue.
The sooner the better

NOTE: If you don't use Pegasus with your Gmail address for a fixed period, you will have to reset the Less Secure Apps Access option in Gmail. I don't know what this period is, but I reckon that it is about one month.

(I'm not sure if any of the above applies to IMAP)

Hi,
since many years I use GMail POP3/SMTP/IMAP services from pegasus Mail having set a specific PMail app PWD on GMAIL.
This morning I was initially able to download the list of new messages from GMail, but afterwards I was unable to sucessfully connect via POP3 or IMAP from PMail, nor I was able to send any email via SMTP.
I've created a new GMail app PWD for PMail, checked that my GMail config is properly configured to get emails from external email programs, but without sucess.
My PMail settings are:

• POP3: server pop.gmail.com, port: 995, "Via dicrect SSL connect"
• SMTP: server smtp.gmail.com, port: 465, "Via direct SSL connect"I've read that Google has started switching to Auth 2., but I've not received any notification from Google.My Android tablet doesn't have problem in accessing my GMail account.Any suggestion?TIA Domenico

I'm using POP for seventeen different mail addresses on a collection of different mail providers.
It has been fine for many years but from yesterday has attempted to pull new mail from an account that no longer exists.

The dialog box shows:
15:37:43.133: --- 9 Nov 2021, 15:37:43.133 ---
15:37:43.133: Connect to 'mail.districtwebmasters.org', timeout 30 seconds.
15:37:44.310: >> +OK Dovecot ready.
15:37:44.310: << USER errors@districtwebmasters.org
15:37:44.373: >> +OK
<< 0018 PASS XXXXXXXXXXX
15:37:46.381: >> -ERR [AUTH] Authentication failed.

I've reviewed Tools > Internet Options > [Receiving] and this address is not in there.

Another odd symptom, the dialog runs quickly but, as far as I can see the problem address is around the 20th being accessed (i.e. off the bottom of the list of addresses in settings)

Restarting Pegasus or rebooting the PC does not clear the problem.

A review of pmail.ini while pegasus was running showed an additional POP definition and, examining that, it's the one causing problems. (Even though the PC has been rebooted several times to try and clear the error)

Closing Pegasus again caused the additional POP definition to disappear from pmail.ini but I still get the errors when fetching new mail.

The unwanted POP definition is recreated in pmail.ini when I restart Pmail.

Where's that coming from and what's the best way to remove it please?

Using PMail 4.41 (yes, I know it's old)

Maybe for the last month or so, when viewing mail in the New Mail folder, I have been receiving emails where the From field and/or the Subject field are blank.

When I examine a regular email using the Raw View, I see that those fields are plain text (appropriate email addresses or subject text). When I examine an email where the From field or Subject field are blank, I see something like this:

From: =?UTF-8?B?4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCqTmV1cm9wYXRoeVRyZWF0bWVudEdyb3Vw4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCq?= <deleted for privacy>

Subject: =?UTF-8?B?4oCq4oCqU+KAquKAqnXigKpmZuKAqmVy4oCq4oCqIEbigKpy4oCqb23igKrigKogTuKAquKAquKAquKAqmVyduKAquKAquKAquKAquKAquKAquKAqmUg4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCq4oCqUGFpbj/igKo=?=

To: <my email address>

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? What email system (host or transport) is creating these messed up fields?

Fortunately, most of these are spam, but still ..

Thanks in advance!

Malcolm

Hello,

I have used Pmail for decades and would like to continue. But my ISP changed mail system. Their support guy write that Pegasus uses SSL v3 that is not supported.

They tested my account and found that it works fine with 143 / 587 with STARTTLS and 993 / 465 with SSL / TLS.

Can someone point me to an URL that tells me how to setup what they want?

I have tried to set up my account with STARTTLS without any luck. And I have a feeling that support@uniweb.no really does not want to bother with other mail programs than the big players. I on the other hand think that Pmail helps me keeping the nasty players out. As they probably do not look for ways to get into a mail program that few use.

This is a test of the image upload function. Hopefully a colored U.S. map is below. For those who are curious, it indicates the States that I have motorcycled in.

If this works, be advised that an attempt to do the same in a reply failed with a "Javascript no post found" error.

My new provider dont't supply POP, only IMAP.

I want to use some facilities that I know about POP:

• downloading new mail into my computer, so that I can work off-line;
• downloading only unread mail;
• selective (what I set-up) downloading;
• downloaded mails remain on the server.

I suppose this is difficult under IMAP, but is it possible with PMail, perhaps with special adjustments?

I tried getting the latest version or IERenderer at the link recommended in the previous thread, , but when extracted the files from the .zip, Norton deleted the install file as a risk. It reported the risk name "WS.Reputation.1"

Long time happy user of Pegasus Mail - many thanks. Much appreciation to David for a wonderful product. My installs have many kilometres on the clock and still going well.

However, since recently installing on two new Windows 10 Lenovo laptops (wife and I) we noticed that whilst the performance of Pegasus Mail is mostly very good, for some reason it sometimes takes a minute or two to open an email.

It doesn't seem to matter whether it's a text or html email, and it is not always the case - sometime emails open very fast. And it does not seem to be related to whether it is Pegasus Mail's first run of the day or it's been open for a while. I have mulitiple user accounts on both machines and all user accounts act the same way.

Any tips for me to try to track this down, please?

PM ver. 4.73

Folder selector for copy or move message to a folder has disappeared. Can I find a setting in PMAIL.INI or STATE.PMJ ?

STATE has these lines

[SELFOL]
Select a mail folder=618,135,950,557
DEFAULT=618,135,950,557
Select a mail folder RS=2831,396,453,600
Select one or more mail folders RS=84,36,334,424

Is my problem in this section of the state?
