Happy to report copy/paste of PM! and PMR files worked!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Just to wrap things up, I want to clarify that the dictionary is not at fault, and cannot be edited without rebuilding it. The only recourse is to add the offending word(s) into the user dictionary. This is true for Microsoft Office and all other dictionaries. The problem is simply that the AFF file rules need to be edited in your case.  The only real alternative is to either add the word to your user dictionary, or ignore (all) spelling prompts for the word.  If that gets tedious then you can avoid the prompt for the apostrophy'd word and spell it out in full, ie it's becomes it is.

Cheers and Merry Christmas from one old-timer.......

I would have to research what the others are although you can do this yourself using Han's guide to Pegasus Mail filenames and extensions.  Find it at: http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_pmfiles.html

Just a remark on this thread.  There is a known problem with leaving an IMAP session running, if Windows Power Management invokes the Sleep or Hibernation to partially shutdown the system. There is presently no "Keep-alive" for IMAP.  So if you are going to be away from your PC for an extended period (ie over-night) I would recommend shutting down Pegasus Mail before leaving the PC.

Many of us see the "Not responding" verbiage in Pegasus Mail window title bars while Pegasus Mail is working.  My guess is that it is generated by the OS when Pegasus Mail is busy stops communicating with the OS for a period of time (a way too short period IMHO).  This started with the introduction of v4.70 when some processes started taking longer than they had.  This gives the appearance of a hang of Pegasus Mail and the associated display of the "Not responding" verbiage.  It only affects some of us and, AFAIK, the cause has yet to be identified.  If this sounds like what you are experiencing then there isn't a solution.  Only patience.  A "wonky" internet connection could exacerbate the issue.

Also, if the Win10 machine is an upgrade from Win7 do a reinstall of Pegasus Mail on top of the existing one (backup of the mailbox directory(ies) first).  We are suspicious that the Win10 upgrade process and the recent upgrade to the Anniversary edition sometimes adversely affect a Pegasus Mail installation.

Great! Glad you got it sorted out :)

The upgraded V6 of NOTSPLIT is now available at: http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/utils/entry3962.aspx

This update fixes some problems with Windows 10.  Pegasus Mail folder has its messages extracted to individual files, for export/Import to other locations or mail applications.

Thanks caisson for response.  I reinstalled Pegasus and it started working immediately.

Perhaps that is the first thing to do when there is a problem, though I do not know how the Pegasus program files (and it has happened with other programs too) should become damaged.  No doubt theories in answer to that are manifold, so I'm just happy that all is now well.

Thanks. As it happened my wife found an answer that worked. I renamed state.pmj and recreated my layout. It took 20 seconds.

Try my suggestion from .

thank you Brian,

I happened to browse the board, generally looking for something I need on templates, and came across your message. Am a long time user [DOS and Novell], first at the office and now I am on a pension, using it with Windows10 at home.

Had missed the news that Thomas Stephenson and Jerry Wise had died. Sorry to read that.

Have a good December month and blessings for all your working years to come

If you hadn't said that you have deleted the message from the server I would have proposed that Pegasus Mail never records a successful download so it comes down again on the next POP3 cycle. 

At this point I would want to determine whether the issue is with deletion on the server or at the local

level.  To do this, the next time you delete the message record the .cnm filename. 

When the message appears again check its .cnm

filename.  A different filename indicates the message came down again.

It wouldn't hurt to do a system restart immediately after the next delete to clean out any cobwebs that might be affecting this.

BTW, when you delete the message from within Pegasus Mail does it disappear from the new mail folder and appear in the deleted messages folder (assuming deleted messages are being preserved until Pegasus Mail closes)?

Thanks!

I confirm what Brian suggests, though life is too short to test it more than once now. That is, full shutdown (not easy on Win 10), reboot, open Chrome, open Pegasus, send a message, close Pegasus. No error.

Yep. We are on our third, and will soon be migrating to a fourth data server (each offering increased storage capacity). The data server is always named . New server is named \\Orion-new and after transfer, the old one is renamed and the new one called \\Orion. Saves a lot of faffing about.

AFAIK, the only formatting options are font, bold, italic, underline, text color, & paragraph formatting.

Enter "Cassy" (no quotes) as your Personal Name in Tools > Options > General settings > Basic settings?

Does Verizon have an "auto-forward" function?.  ISPs usually have this function to deal with extended absences (ie vacation or sickness etc). This would mean that you would get all incoming mail at Gmail.com.

Great idea. I'll have to give it a try!

Weird issue, though ...

I checked and the date is 10/30/2015.  I haven't experienced any problems with printing, and was surprised to even find the errors in the event monitor. But why would Pmail be waiting on this anyway, when trying to download mail? There are 3 more copies in the WinSxS folder, which is apparently where the Windows update files are stored.  I'm going to try to clean that up in case that's part of the problem.  The Wait chain doesn't specify the path, although I would think it would be only in the C:|Windows directory - WinSxS is a subdirectory.
