To avoid some of these problems with attachments of type iCalender and VCalendar, I've done this:

FILETYPE.PM added:

iCalendar,0,X,0,.ics
vCalendar,0,X,0,.vcs

 MIME-MAP.PM

text/calendar = iCalendar

This should avoid the [Type unknown]. For PMICAL to open those attachments:

VIEWER .PM

1;.ICS;.ICS;pmical.exe
1;.VCS;.VCS;pmical.exe
2;text/calendar;.ics;pmical.exe

For the problem  with the "Alternative message format" I do not have any solution. It arises with vCalender attached by webinterface of Exchange Server (don't know if Outlook too). The understanding of Microsoft is, because they put the text in "plain text" and "HTML Text" in addition into field description of their calenderfile, that a calenderfile is an alternative of that text. May be discussed ... but Pegasus does abviously not expect this to be an alternative and so simply marks it as text and not as an attachment. David would say, that this is another case where Pegasus has to correct problems arising by an mal programed mailprograms :-)

Joerg,

Until now I've thought the extract and replace approach was best for upgrading IER in shared Pmail installations like ours but the updating of VIEWER.PM by the IER installer puts a wrinkle in that thinking. I wonder if copying VIEWER.PM from one Pmail installation to another would cause any problems.  I'm thinking of copying the one on my home laptop for use in the office.

BTW, I think you switched your VIEWER.PM content listings because mine, which is old, is identical to the one you listed as new except for .ics and .vcs entries that I had added.

While this is not really of concern to everybody, please be aware that there is not a 64-bit Windows version for Windows 10. The 32-bit version does install, but the locations of all the files have changed. So the Pegasus Mail utility SendDoc may need to change its location to remain active. You need to locate SendDoc.exe and SendDoc2.exe

They used to be in the Programs sub-directory but now they are in the Bin directory.  Once they are properly located you will be able to send files using Pegasus Mail services.

Please note that Microsoft Office applications data files cannot be mailed by using the File/Sendto menu.

Yes, it would be nice if the history on the download page included v2.6.2.12 but it's not like v2.6.2.12 isn't disclosed.  Information about it is in the History.htm file included in the downloaded zip.

Maybe David should consider a Patreon.com account aside PayPal.

Final comment in this regard. It seems the [Location of PMR System Address Books] entry in german pegasus.ini is without functionality. An added UNC path to a changed PMR location will not be processed by Pmail even if the new folder name doesn' exceed the 8.3 limits. Pmail is still searching its default Pmail\Programs for system's pmr files. What I didn't try is to connect a separate network drive (at each user's machine) to that new server share (e.g. \\server123\Pmail$\Programs\Address\) to avoid adding an UNC path to pegasus.ini. It would be a little bit over the top connecting a separate network drive for address books or put pmr files outside our Pmail environment to other existing network drives.

At the moment I keep it as it is, editable address books are in Pmail\Programs.

I just saw this and hope that the approach is to rename pmail.ini not delete it.  Reference to the old file could be valuable.

Between emails on Saturday the width a space takes up when I compose an email or reply has doubled or tripled. Even the text of the original email when I reply is rejustified.

However the emails sent like this appear ok when received.

I have restored pmail from various days previous (it is backed up daily) and even a fresh install but problem persists.

Here is what it should look like:

PC is running fully uptodated Windows 10.

My version on Windows 7 is ok.

Any ideas. I have changed fonts and the rest of the PC is ok.

  I have not, so far, put in code to clean up after user has finished a session in Pmical.  This could just be an option in Pmical.ini? Or it could be a dialog SaveTo question at closing time to save or not save, and then where to save things to.

As to the actual location of data and program files, this could be resolved by users declaring possible locations to be considered, in a list, and then prompted at Pmical startup to select one of the choices of location. Secondly to this I would suggest that all temporary work files created in TEMP by Pmical be deleted at Pmical closing, as they are not useful from that point on.  I have to be careful with event replies, as these need to be kept, as part of the event updating process.  For example the Accept or Decline of an event invitation, and the update of invitees list,  and updating of time and date of event invitations, or event event cancellation.

This last point suggests that using TEMP to store events would not work if event updating is needed. Further, if prompting for a location, it cannot change once set, as the updating process cannot easily change.

By the way, my PmicalAdmin app could be enhanced to handle a lot of these questions.

This utility is available at: http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/pegadd/entry50920.aspx  for those who might still find it a quick and easy to use utility. It has been upgraded to run in Windows 10 32-bit and 64- bit systems. It extracts messages from NNTP servers and converts them into Pegasus Mail incoming messages. The messages can be either individual or in digest collection forms.

 Sorry I have been quiet over the last few days, first my ISP crashed all their email services, POP SMTP IMAP and Webmail and I have been waiting patiently for them to recover.  Meanwhile my PC has been acting up so I have not been able to install the IERenderer to help sort the display problems. I am forced to use my Gmail mailer. I am monitoring this Community and Listserv services.

I have been on Windows 10 since its beginning and recently trying out both MicrosoftEdge as well as the beta version of the Chrome-based MSEdge replacement. My vote is strongly for the replacement version even though it is only beta. Don't try it yet though, as we need to understand how to disable the MicrosoftEdge SystemApp.

Just to let you know, I have a solution for Bearhtml, which seems to work, but I am not sure what I need to test, when users choose which browser to use. Particularily what happens when Microsoft issues one of its frequent updates, which tend to reset all the default Windows settings back.

So good luck and watch this space, or mail me at  irelam2017@gmail.com

Cheers,

I use IMAP access to my accounts mostly to train the server's spam filters and message archiving. It works as advertised.

Today I was selecting a bunch of messages with the only intent to mark them as READ and noticed it was taking too long to mark the UNREAD messages. Usually, I use rules for this kind of job but some mail servers (Gmail) do not cope well with rules and I don't have the slightest idea why. Yahoo and GMX do just fine.

Anyway, this particular IMAP folder has 7.1% of UNREAD messages and the rest marked READ (92.9%). I think I can fairly assume Pmail will run over the whole messages at least ONCE, that is, to build the header cache. The time taken for this task was 5' 25". Differences between the three measurements were considered irrelevant. The problem is that the existence of a header cache, or not, does not influence on the selecting messages time. Pmail was still downloading all the folder's messages before comparing. Is that correct? I was expecting that only those message headers not already on cache should be worth downloading.

I'll be eagerly waiting for your thoughts. TIA.

Drag and drop should work, at least when dragging from a file explorer and dropping onto either the attachment tab or the attachment pane (attachment tab open).

One place it doesn't is if you click the "Add attachment..." button and then try to drag and drop from the resulting "Select a file" window.

I just confirmed that the root mailbox directory and all subdirectories are excluded from active scanning.  Scheduled scanning occurs after hours.

That directory is hidden from users so I don't suspect any interference from that side of things.

No, both codes scan the whole folder content, no matter if they are unread, read, or both. While I use "Sort unread before read" option set ON on most of my folders, toggling it OFF didn't change the code behavior. I tested all scenarios I could think of including unread messages with some read in between.

It might be something related to the folder's index as longer code exits immediately if all of the folder's messages are marked read. If the shorter code is used, no matter if all, some or none messages are marked unread it will take much more time to complete.

Thanks for that. I tried your method but no joy. Not a problem. I think I've got it now in a pdf, all nicely sorted in the same order as listed in the index.

Folks,

I just stomped into this short notice from gHacks, and I'd like to share it with you. Though I'm not an Avast user (like the author, I'm also using Kaspersky Free), I thought some of you may benefit from his findings. There are a step-by-step procedure description, screenshots, and even a video.

You may reach the article from the link below. Beware of line breaks.

Enjoy!

Pegasus Mail is an email client as are products like Outlook &Thunderbird.  Email clients can retrieve mail (POP3) from servers like gmail and comcast or access mail (IMAP) on servers like gmail and comcast.  They also send mail (SMTP) using servers like gmail and comcast.  If you installed Pegasus Mail you'll find it's manual in the \Programs installation directory as manual.pdf.  Pegasus Mail also has help buttons throughout.  Both sources are excellent.

You're welcome!
