Joerg, thank you !!! I always thought this was not possible, i rechecked the options and found it. I always had to cut and paste my signatures which were always placed at the bottom, it's been driving me crazy for years. I couldn't understand why such a common feature was not readily available on pmail which is such a great programme.

[quote user="Joerg"]

Maybe I don't understand your problem completely. But you could adjust Pmail in that manner that your signature and the cursor are always placed at the top of a replied message. We do this since years. When replying a mail, the original message text will be copied into (without that strange ">" sign in front of each line), our signatature placed above the original text, and the cursor for typing the new answer on top. No problem with other guys.

I had a weird "can't send" in May 2020. I COULD "send" it, but the recipient's server returned it, saying sender's IP address was on a blacklist as a source of spam. Note: That wasn't MY IP address, it was the IP address of the people who host my email. (I, as do most people, I believe, send things to them, THEY send it onward.)

Anyway... when I took the text I wanted to send (it contained extensive quotes of emails and rejections, along with their headers, all in plain text) and put it in a .pdf (Thank you LibreOffice/ OpenOffice for the "save as .pdf" feature), and sent THAT, as an attachement, it went through fine... from the server that had be rejected several times just previously.

 Sigh.

[quote user="chriscw"]I do intend to add a backup of the remaining active accounts back into our  backup schedule as well.[/quote]

Don't wait too long, Chris!  Make it, today! [:D] Only this protect you from data losses of any company data. (Your signature sais "IT Manager" of a company)

We are running daily mirror backups at night, where the entire Mercury folder, entire Pmail folder and all mailbox folders of my 20 users will be saved at a mirror server in our LAN. This is quite fast since only the differences will be updated at night. So don't think about which files are to be saved and which not. Save them all.

Additionally once a week I save all at an external harddisk, taking it with me at home (of course, encrypted). For all backup tasks I use Window's "robocopy", where you are able to create nice batch files, creating 1:1 copies - and all simple and for free.

In Germany we have a legal retention period of all business related letters (where e-mails belonging to) of 6 years, and for tax related correspondences 10 years. Means there is a lot to retain [:(]

I think I solved it.

I installed Thunderbird to see whether I could send mail using a different client program. It worked, I could. However, when Thunderbird automatically set itself up for sending and receiving mail I noticed that it chose a mail server with a different name to the one I've always used in Pegasus. ****-****.accessdomain.com instead of ******.gridserver.com. So out of curiosity I tried changing the server name in Pegasus, and it now sends mail to an address it did not previously send to.

I haven't checked it throroughly yet but fingers crossed this has fixed it.

I am also highly impressed by the achievements of DH. Pegasus with its environment is by far the best email system I have ever seen.

With great respect I wish indeed all the best to DH.

Many thanks to Brian & Euler,

I found the INI file but I wound up going the safer route.

I created 8 identity copies and deleted the 8 originals.
I then created 8 new copies giving them my original identity names.

So I now have my original identities logically ordered [:D]

Well, got er done.  I can't say that it was a pleasant experience.  Its a good thing that I'm a teetotaler, or I would have drank this problem away.  As you said, it is just a matter of creating your Identities first and then creating the 'Internet options' for each later.  You have to remember to Become the identity you want the 'Internet options' to be associated with before trying to setup that.  If there is anything in the 'My Internet e-mail address is:' box, you have to replace it with the name you want to give the 'Internet options'.  This would be a good youtube demo project.

Thanks again.

[quote user="Brian Fluet"]...There isn't any reference to the missing attachment on the recipient end....[/quote]

I misspoke here.  There is the attachment symbol in the left column of the Pegasus Mail new mail folder for each of the messages that were sent without the attachment.  The attachment pane only shows a plain text part of the message body.  This is not normal for plain text messages so Pegasus Mail is transmitting knowledge of an attachment even though there isn't one.  The fact that the attachment shows as a plain text part of the message body is confusing.

How many Pmail folders have you arranged? Depending on the the number of such folders and subfolders (and their content) within your Pmail folder tree, Pmail takes more time for startup (under W10). When starting Pmail it shows "locating folders - 25" also with me. It seems "25" is only the first step, where 25 folders have been read. My computer (W10 1909) needs around 11 seconds for hundrets of folders. But my computer is fitted with an fast SSD and connected by Gbit network to the server where the mails reside. But other users of mine have more than 1000 folders where Pmail needs about 20 to 30 seconds for the first start. But only for the first start of a day. Subsequent startups are very fast. It seems Windows is chaching the folder structure or folder content. I guess, you have to live with.

Never mind!  I shut the program down and restarted now it seems to be fine.  Thank you for your help.

I just viewed the full code of the message, copied it to a WP page and searched for: <script

but found none.

 The email only had a PDF file that the client attorney was sending me.

[/quote]

PDF files may have scripts inside (JavaScript), specially those with filling forms, and may be used to spread malware, etc.

[/quote]

Interesting. Well these are from legal clients - usually attorneys. And I used  Malwarebytes and  Windows Defender, both on all the time.

Thanks!

[quote user="Brian Fluet"]I like WSSETUP because it creates the appropriate MAILTO: and SENDTO: registry entries, including adding Pegasus Mail to the right-click context menu "Send to" list.[/quote]

Maybe I should give it a try next time since I still miss the Pmail entry in W10 standard app selection.

This evening (GMT +01.00) I've finally send the file to the beta team. Many thanks for helping.

If you are a single user of Pegasus on PC-1 and you would like to use it on
PC-2 and PC-3, you do not neet to install Pegasus on these other PCs.
On PC-2 and PC-3 create a network share to C:\PMAIL\Programs\winpm-32.exe (on PC-1)

Share C:\PMAIN on PC-1 and map it as a shared drive on PC-2 and PC-3
then run winpm-32.exe on PC-2 and PC-3 .... so easy!

Note: You can really only use this method on one PC at a time.

If the share tab is missing on your version of Windows 10
read the following including the comments. (It Works!)

I emailed Support at Shortkeys and he gave me some things to try, but before I could try them, I started IERenderer again, then opened the new mail folder again, tried replying to an email with a macro, and it worked! Yay! So thanks guys and if it does that again, I can try their suggestions.

Update 1-25-2020: Another source of frustration was that emails that contained graphics were taking several seconds to load - sometimes in the order of 10 seconds. I just thought Pegasus was slow. But it seems that it was because IERender had not been turned on. Now that IERenderer is working, graphic emails open up FAST.

 Thanks to all of you who helped me with this! :-D

Update 2-3-2020: IERenderer is working wonderfully, has speeded up loading of emails, AND I'm not seeing the crashes that I previously mentioned, anymore! THANK YOU!!! 

Brilliant, all working as I wanted.

Thank you so much to all contributors

I appears that FastMail supports app passwords which should work with Pegasus Mail.

Thank you.  I may use that procedure.

Removing the auto-filtering (and, thus, the "little person icon") did the trick!

I don't really understand how auto-filtering on some random folder would cause

a problem in the copies-to-self folder, but that seems to be the case. Thanks

for all the help.

[/quote]

Hi,

that's exactly the way Autofiltering was meant to be. The following text is from Pegasus Mail Help:

[quote]Autofiltering is a simple way of organizing your mail into "conversations". Put simply, if you move or copy a message into a folder that has autofiltering enabled, that folder will subsequently automatically gather all the messages you receive from the sender of that message, and all the messages you send to that person. Being able to see both what you've received and sent in order allows you to read your correspondence with that person as if it were an ongoing conversation.[/quote]

So, Autofiltering it is not a substitute to mail filtering rules that is still the way to organize your mail archiving. It is quite limited, focusing only on sender's address: if message is from Sender it goes to that "autofiltered" folder. If you answer to that archived message your message will go to that same folder instead of Copyself, and building a "conversational" storage. I found it to be very useful but one must take care if other rules could interfere. Autofiltering has low precedence order.

[quote user="Brian Fluet"]Perhaps the "Check no more frequently than once every X minutes" setting then controls the frequency?[/quote]

Well, for me it's all pretty easy: Firstly, I don't really care whether I'm getting messages sooner or later since I prefer to not be interrupted when working on my machine. Secondly, if I feel the need to do an immediate check I manually trigger it, so keeping idle checks limited to 900 seconds = 15 minutes is my setting, especially since I once had a free account limited to this frequency anyway.
