1 - Was a link not created for you when Pmail installed?  Usually the icons that would normally be installed in Windows will be installed under the program category 'Wine' or 'Windows Programs'.  Otherwise, I'm not really sure, it could be a permissions thing.

2 - I haven't run into your window closing problem.  You might try playing with the window controls in 'winecfg' (there may be a program menu icon for this configuration program too).  You may also try setting the compatibility mode to Win98 or WinXP.  I usually set my to Win98 by default since it tends to be the most compatible.

3 - I haven't tried ssl/tls under Wine, they may not work at all.  If they do work I can't see why they would be any less secure.
 

Thank you!  This is good news.  I've noticed that on surprise occasions it gets deleted, but I've never paid attention to the circumstances when it does / doesn't go.  Normally, it doesn't.

 Cheers!
 

Thank you! I shall pay attention to new versions.

I have the exact same problem. However, the users at my office are all using the English version.

I am pretty sure from testing I've done that the problem occurs on shutdown of Pegasus, when the ini file gets written out, not on startup as you might think.

Thanks once again, sent a mail to another of my addresses and it worked.

Bye for now

Thanks guys! I am back up and running (fingers crossed!) after 7 hours of restoring tray structure by hand. Yes, HIERARCH.PM seems to contain bunch of suspiciously looking lines. Fortunately I found a description of its format here: 

http://wiki.pmail.com/index.php?title=KB:Pegasus_Mail/Structure_of_HIERARCH.PM_File

There is also important tidbit here:

http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/23579.aspx 

 Will have to work on it. Also I have a bunch of old folders still in UNIX format, so that might have contributed to the restoration trouble. Just documenting my experience in hopes that it will make someone's life easier.

 Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Well when a disk crash / disk full situation is involved, there is very little that can be done by the programs using the disk.

First of all, but you will have done that, make sure you got plenty of diskspace.

I doubt if you can recover mails, If the folder information (in the right mouse menu) gives a size that is matching the total size of the messages then you have bad luck. If the filesize on disk is much larger then the messages do expect it to be, there might be a possibility. In any case make sure to make a copy of the pmi and pmm file involved.

You can change the password from

 TOOLS -> INTERNET OPTIONS -> RECEIVING POP3 -> EDIT THE HOST AND GIVE A NEW PASSWORD YOU HAVE MENTIONED FOR YOUR SERVER.

thanks worked great files were not held open

with Corel Photo Album 6  and other photo album software, yes, it does.

Based on my experience, I agree with David (always a safe option here!), use NDS with Netware > 4.1. I found that it was virtually maintenance free on the server side. So sweet! I really liked the NWAdmin plugin which used to be available from the University of Lyon (France).

I also agree that Netware 6.5 is the best server operating system ever. Sigh.

I've noted this issue. At the moment, it's possible to move messages retrieved by different identities, but not by different POP3 definitions. It would be trivially easy to inject a header into downloaded messages that indicates the definition that retrieved them: this header could subsequently be used in expression filters to do the type of thing you're asking for.

I'll definitely add this to the next release for you. I suggest that once you see blogs or discussions here indicating that full development is operational again (once I have finished the internal transitions that are happening at the moment) you send me a personal message to jog my memory.

Cheers!

Hi !

Perhaps you can evaluate this Python scripting feature by setting up a partnership with a local university or school, and their computer science department. For instance, this could be suggested as a subject for a thesis or something like an end-of-the-year-programming project. Also, this way, you can attract more users to Pegasus Mail amongst the younger ones, and maybe even future developpers and coders who will join our growing community. I think it is a win-win suggestion, on your side the coding is done by someone else, the students as a project, and on their side, it is surely an interesting and challenging project which gives the students the opportunity to work and contribute to a "real" program. So what do you think ? (Maybe this has nothing to do anymore with the title of this thread, in that case I am counting on the moderators :-)).

Bye !

Ginhead.
 

Can you send and then receive mail from yourself?

Hello

    Unfortunately there is no easy way. As you know, in Outlook each user has their own Id and password. The only simple way you could achieve this is to collect a file of all your users Ids and passwords, as the process requires a login. Not a good idea at all.  At present this individual login is achieved by the Pm2msm.ini values, but with a little work I could force a login dialog. But that would require user participation.   [:(]  Hmmm...

You are not using Norman perhaps? This is similar to my problem http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/942.aspx , just the invalid errorcode is different, a 6 instead of 2, but both invalid according to David.

Someone suggested that I swap in another NIC to see how it affected this hanging problem. I didn't have one handy so instead I updated the drivers for my existing one (an old Netgear FA311) and that seems to have done the trick! I can now forward those particular HTML-formatted emails without killing my network connection and hanging the computer. I guess the old drivers were either defective or corrupt.

So, perhaps my blaming Pegasus was misplaced. It still seems odd to me that Pegasus is the only network program of the many on this computer that would trigger the symptom. 

 All's well that ends well.

Personally I setup addressbooks and dist. list using a full SMTP address in the form "FirstName Lastname"<user@example.com>  This way the username is part of the email address and the address is fully definitive no matter how it's delivered.  In addition I use the Mercury/32 PH server pointing at the system addressbook so that the POP3 users of Pegasus Mail can also access this addresbook.  One of these days there will be a LDAP server as well so that will add a lot more capability for a number of other email clients.

[quote user="Correlator"]If you don't get such messages too often, save it into a file with extension *.b64 and then use, for example, WinZip to "open" it. WinZip will show its contents as a couple of text files. One of them will be your message in plain text format, which you can extract and read in Notepad etc.[/quote]

 Thanks!  Your suggestion works.

It is an adequate workaround because I only receive these problem emails occasionally.

 cheers,

george.

Just on this last point. Why would anyone want to read/capture a file that was in read/write mode by some other process? This indicates that the file has a strong possibility of being updated. The Read-only version (yes Word/Excel are guilty) is then only an approximation to the current version of a file.  This kind of thing is most common in my work when two or more people on a network are sharing and updating data.

 You're right Martin but sometimes users need to do some things we didn't think they could have to do. For example, it happens to me quite often to be happy to have the feature "open a file in read-only mode because it's already opened by word or excel" (I made a lot of changes and suddently realize that I want to keep a copy of the original).

A good solution could be to warn the user that the file is in use and ask him/her to confirm he wants to attach the current version to his/her mail.
