I've just deleted a folder by accident. Is there any way to undo the mistake?

Not from within the program. Pegasus Mail doesn't use any trash system. Perhaps you can use a 3rd party undelete utillity. There are some available from download sites like tucows, download.com and such.
V-com, made by Avanquest. Current versions include Fix-it Utilities and System Suite (versions 7 are most recent). I have used this for over 6 years, even though I did try AVG, Nortons, CA, PCillin, MacAffee, to name a few. In my opion, Fix-it contains the absolute best AV program (other than not being able to use the auto-email scan with Pegasus. The updates are prompt, fast/easy to install, and have in the past detected virus that Norton and others did not. The other utilities included in Fix-it are also superb and have saved me many times from giving up on my o/s, formatting, and reinstalling.
I have 7 Novell Netware 6.5 file servers that are running Pegasus 4.21c, and I have a problem with one site when sending file attachments. A user uses a distribution list to send announcements to roughly 100 users. Today for example, the user sent 2 very small attachments, one Word and one Excel file. Almost all users had no problem opening either file, however I had one user that could open the Excel file but got the following error message when attempting to open the Word document. The document name or path is not valid. Try these suggestions. * Check the file permissions for the document or drive. * use the File Open dialog box to locate the document. (C:\Document~\Bev\...\Temp\WPM$2B27.doc.
The puzzling thing is if the secretary resends the file, the user can open it without any problem. Another part of the puzzle is, it's not always the same user that can't open the file. It is not consistant.
We use our own pop e-mail server, so it's not a problem between ISP's.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

The first thing I would do is try using a session log since it looks like what is happing is that there is some sort of POP3 TCP/IP download failure at the very end of the message (maybe packet fragmentation). I would also look at upgrading to v4.41 to see if this helps.

Think about it a bit more. Do you want WinPMail carrying around all of that conversion code just for a one time process? How much of David's time would be spent changing this code to keep up with all the other mailers?
I went to the DAWN site - the latest download there doesn't mention Windows 7 - let alone 64 bit setups. So - back to my basic question: I have a large set of "contacts" in my Yahoo.com account that I wish to import into Pegasus V 4.52. Will DAWN really work for me?
Why not? Win7 and 64 bit have nothing to do with this.
Consider the reply option selected for how long line from the original message are to be handled. If Reformat or Wrap are selected the result will then be manipulated to conform to the message width setting you have configured for message formatting. That width probably won't match the original message which can result in odd line wrapping or line breaks. Sometimes the solution is a simple as cancelling that reply and trying it again using a different setting for the long line handling. Sometimes manual manipulation is the only option.
That doesn't answer your question about why it's not automatically handled. Perhaps its not possible considering the varied formatting that messages arrive in and the user options provide users with the means of automating the process as much as possible.
First of all I wouild create a session log of the whole transaction. Go to MercurE configuration and fill in the directory and check the session log box. (Don't forget to turn it off later as they can get quite large.
With the complete detail, you will be able to see what's happening with these connections.
Is the option "Use system-defined colours in Pegasus Mail's controls" of any help? You find it at "Tools" | "Options" | "General setting" | "Basic settings". She may try it and see whether checking or unchecking it matters.
You gentlemen are working with a local copy of pmail, with local mail folders and a local inbox. The standby issue will never bite you because your files are *local*, they are always "there."
"Help" files on Microsoft windows are (de-facto, for me at least) more harm than good because I can't read the stuff because of their choice of fonts and sizes.
[A] The fonts are too small (even with the "large" option) and the choice of fonts is approximately impossible for me to read. The leters merge together on the screen. It's an eyesight thing.
I have tried using a magnifying glass, which isolates words and letters to start with, and then I find myself trying to deduce which pixels go with which letters. After all that, I try to form a word; it's a lot like Captain Midnight's secret decoder rings.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. I can now read my messages on my screen. Pegasus looks like a very good E-mail client.
Ok, step two might be a problem in either state.pmj or hierarch.pm:
Try the following procedure. This works to restore the functionality of the message folders or to recover from a system crash:
1. Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info to determine your mail directory. Exit Pegasus mail.
2. Rename the file HIERARCH.PM in your HOME mail directory to HIERARCH.SAV.
3. Run WinPMail. Your HIERARCH.PM will be re-created and should start working correctly.
Be advised that this may delete any tree structure you have created and may have to be recreated.
If it still doesn't open, do the above for state.pmj as well.

Hi there.
I have been having this problem with a handful of users over the past few weeks and just wanted to let you know that the above solution resolved the issue for me.
I guess I found out: regardless of the setting in the options it seems that WHEN you search, the marking of "Delete search results on exit" in the search window is critical. Without marking this the individuel search result still remain after PM exit. Otherwise not.
[quote]I don't however, understand why you have to fill out the address in
each and every message since you should have done so in the initial
dialogue box.[/quote]
I've only seen this procedure once when someone else was doing it. So I was incorrect about that - you do only need to enter the address once.
Re Spamhalter. I think for the time being I'd prefer to use just the one anti-spam mechanism (Mail Foundry). I guess spamhalter would still miss some messages that had been missed by Mail Foundry. The number coming through at present are manageable by multiple-forwarding. If things get a lot worse I'll consider adding spamhalter, but I would probably be complaining about Mail Foundry before then.
Got to the directory containing the progam and run pconfig.exe. Reset the HOME and new mail directory spec to the correct drive letter and it should worlk.
apart from wanting to see my name and message on this forum, I wanted to say thanks and congratulations to David Harris for making such a great program (fast, light, and lots of useful finetuning possibilities) and for providing it for free! Early year's message on pmail site on halting development at first gave me a 'this world ain't getting any better..' -feeling, but hopefully he has found the funds, and fresh motivation to keep on trucking.
Thomas, I know that the entry is correct, I have used this for some of
my software. I am a Product Manager for a couple of software products
and have seen this with one of them. I never thought about it in
relation to this problem. I'm sure that you are running 4.51 also. My
setup is basically the same. Do you have the same parameters in both
machines, or only on the workstation? I have not studied the effects
other than doing it on the workstation that I am running PMail on, not
the "server". What settings did you do on which machine? I am also
using Popfile and ClamAV for Mercury on the server side.
I'm running the oplocks on the workstation only here and I've just disabled the oplocks. Checkout for my settings. Everything works normally for me with disabled. I did get a real slowdown when I moved to SP3 on the server and stayed at SP2 on the workstation but that went away when it went to SP3.
I'm also running the Netware Client 32 since I'm also connecting to a Novell v3.2 system via bindery but I'm not all that sure this means anything in the scheme of things.
