Thanks Brian,

For the moment I have cancelled the printer distribution by Windows Group Policy Object. Guys in different Windows forums do not recommend this approach because it doesn't work sufficiently. Now I have installed the network printer manually again. Will see what happen.

Using the printers as local TCP/IP printers would be my very last attempt, if nothing else works for all.

The only messages I'm concerned with trying to get into someones hands are the ones unread from the last time the President left the office to the time I enabled forwarding.  That's why the newmail filter rule came to mind.  If filtering to a directory was an option I would do away with the forwarding and just keep an instance of his Pegasus Mail running minimized somewhere.  Placing messages in a directory would keep it out of other users mailboxes and I could control access with permissions.  Olaf's idea of adding a mailbox just for these messages is valid but requires more effort than the issue is worth.

I've written the directory idea off as wishful thinking and am fine with closing this inquiry. 

Thank you for your thoughts!

Moin Olaf,

I did it this morning. Now I will see whether it has solved it.

But since we have upgraded our old Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2016 we experience also other oddities, where e.g. printer go offline - but only at one workstation while other users have no problem with the network printers. 

I take another cup of coffee and will wait ... [C]

Thanks, I appreciate your help with this!!!

This looks like a really nasty way to spoof email headers and bypass spam filters.  AFAICT Pegasus Mail wasn't tested by this security researcher:

• https://www.mailsploit.com/index
  

Not sure if it would affect SpamHalter either.  Comments welcome.

Ahh. I didn't know there was any real reason to avoid IMAP. It seems to offer many advantages to me, and I guess, most people.  Being able to access "everything" from almost any device, anywhere, seems very inviting. I found it annoying not being able to access POP e-mails because they had been downloaded to a client somewhere, and I found the "Download only unread messages' option a bit troublesome.  Even then, you still can't access Copies of Sent messages, if they are on your Desktop at home.  I guess a special BCC-self e-mail account is the answer?

I guess I need to do more research.  One thing I do find troubling is the general move to cloud-based e-mail, which will eliminate many small e-mail clients, I'm sure.  I refuse to give all my e-mail and contacts to Google!  They know far too much already.  On-going, reliable backups from a long time ago would have been the best option!

In this case, it wasn't the 2GB limit. Only 170MB worth. I think my PC must have been running out of memory.

You are right!  Move was a dumb idea! I dragged and dropped, which doesn't offer the Copy option.

Already done an IMAPsize backup. Messy results, from a future lookup PoV. 

I am going to try a German product next. Sounds ok. MailStore (Home)... 

Then, will come back to Pegasus. 

Thanks again for your comments.

That did the trick!

 

Reinstalled Firefox keeping my old settings.   Now the hyperlinks in PMail open in FF again.

 

Thanks

 

To possibilities for fixing the problem:

• temporarily connect a seconf monitor again and move Pegasus to screen 1.
• The coordinates for windows of Pegasus are in STATE.PMJ in section [General]. Most times you will have success  by removing all entries with V4...=... on closed Pegasus. But afterwards you have to position and resize all windows of Pegasus as you want them to be.

[quote user="Geoffrey"]  I haven't used any yet, but it seems like your point number one would be better met by using the Identities feature of Pegasus[/quote]

Nope.  Identities share the same mail store, user mail stores are independent.

[quote user="Geoffrey"] I'm curious how Pegasus knows about each users email address.[/quote]

The

user management function maintains a user list in a file named pmail.usr which resides in the root mailbox directory.  There is also a file named pmail.cfg which is created during multi-user install and modified with the pconfig32.exe utility.  It contains the path to the root mailbox directory and information about a gateway if one is in use (eg: Mercury).

[quote user="Geoffrey"] Logged-in users [F4] does not seem to work for me.[/quote]

It won't.  It's a remnant of Netware functionality.

[quote user="Geoffrey"] It appears that addressbooks cannot be shared...[/quote]

They can.  See the System-wide addressbooks topic on pg 101 of the manual.

FWIW, I ran for years with just a shared install of Pegasus Mail but at some

point, keeping the crap out of user mailboxes became important, so I added Mercury to the LAN.  It ranks up there as one of the best things I've ever done.  I think I was at 10 users when I did it.  I maintain domain hosted user

mailboxes from which Mercury POPs messages.  AV and SPAM

control are integrated into Mercury allowing for detections to be filtered so as not to be delivered to the user mailboxes.  This is something to keep in the back of your head for consideration sometime down the road.

 

Don't know any.

You may only change the order of IMAP foldertrees by editing the IMAP.PM and moving the lines there (on closed Pegasus!!!).

kind regards

    Olaf

Thank you for your reply. He is using his full email address. The security stuff is set to none. They gave me both options for smtpa  with port 2225 and smtp with port 25. We have tried both. How do we unlock a port?

 

 

Brian,

I have been shutting Pegasus down every few days since you provided the advice to do so and it seems to be working as it should. So I suspect that we can put this to bed for the time being and see if anything develops from here but for now, I'm satisfied.

Thanks again for your help and also to  others that offered suggestions.

Larry

 

Thanks Joerg for your detailed explanation of what I am trying to achieve.

My apologies for the delay in replying but I have been laid up for the last few weeks with a nasty flu bug.

 Happy New Year

 Chris 

Thanks Brian for your prompt suggestion and for solving my problem.

TCPlog showed authentication failure caused by a reset of my user name (probably when autofilter was removed) without the "@peoi.org" which my new mail server requires in the user name for some strange reason.

Hope your are enjoying your turkey.

If experiencing the issue below with Mailwasher Pro, here is the fix

Close Pegasus, and then run the files in the Pegasus programs folder:

wssetup.exe
setpmdefault.exe

in that order.

This places an icon 'Pegasus Mail' on the desktop.

Selecting the new shortcut in Mailwasher's 'Use other application' then works and Mailwasher is back communicating with Pegasus Mail !

This is very disappointing and I have been unable to resolve this. Any suggestions?

Thanks, the pdf  entry in the mime-map solved it. Now I can send pdf files to myself without any problems assuming that it will be the same for other receivers. I did not try the remove everything suggestion made above.

In file-viewer there is no entry for pdf.

 Still puzzling to me is that soem pdfs are annotated now as pdf-doc, but some as pdf xchange viewer.. Still both can now be read.

 Many thanks for your help.

 

 

 

Hi Harry,

I'm taking for granted that you have your Content Control Rule (e.g. "Basic Spam Detection") enabled and have set the Applicability to "all messages" or "messages from the internet" (I'm using the fully german version - insofar the names could differ a little bit)

But on the other hand I have activated and tested the Pmail blacklist function right now. And it it also not working with me [:(] when I'm adding a sender's address to the blacklist. But in our case all mails are being retrieved, and spam-assessed on the Mercury server by Spamhalter. And Spamhalter is adding additional flags to the mail header (e.g. "X-SPAMHALTER: whitelisted"). Don't know whether Pmail is fully trusting it and does nothing more. Maybe others guys who are using Pmail as standalone mail program without Mercury could post their experiences in this regard.

That did it. Thanks much for your help.

Generally there is a difference between links in html formatted mails and links in plain text mails. While links in html mails have to be clicked only once, links in plain text mails have to be clicked twice. Further, when holding the mouse pointer over a html link, a tooltip is showing the url address of the link. A lot of html mails contain invalid links of the schema "#1437645". It seems to be internal html jumping marks, when opening such mails on the originator's website. And finally we experience html links, where the handing-over of the link from Pmail to the browser takes a long time (up to 10-15 seconds). I believe Pmail is checking the URLs in the background with different anti-spam or blacklist servers.

But the behaviour you described we cannot experience.
