I need to change the email server for both pop3 and smtp hosts for a group of email identities. They all use the same server. I open Receiving Pop3 or Sending SMTp for any one and click on edit, PMail crashes. Shouldn't I be able to edit the changes in place rather than adding a whole new host?

Hello, I use version 4.8
I need to stop Pegasus mail every day in some time by script scheduled in Windows scheduler. I use command :
taskkill /IM "winpm-32.exe" /F
DEL "<folder path>\pmail\MAIL\ADMIN\MAILBOXP.LCK"

its working well but problem with temp folder and files
c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp*.PM$

they still stay on disk and are not deleted. Probably because Pegasus mail was not stopped via GUI and click on File - exit

Does exist some better command to close program as "Graceful close" ? So Pegasus mail also should delete temporary files.

Simce pegasus is dead for the forseeable future for anyone using Microsoft email I need to move all of the emails to outlook. I came across this 15 year old thread talking about using mercury and IMAP to move pegasus folders to outlook. Never used mercury before. Anyone have any idea if this method would still work? Thx

I just setup Mercury on Xampp and I am trying to retrieve emails so I will have the emails on the Mercury server to read with Roundcube. I was able to download the emails but the original emails are deleted. I put a check on the MercuryP pop3 server setting to "ignore Pop3 delete commands", but the original emails were deleted on the client server. Apparently I have something set wrong. I do not want to delete the original emails.

Also, I cannot send emails to the original client now?

I thought that 4.81 would be fine. And it has been. Then today I have been getting this smtp error (pop3 is fine) with all identities.

No settings have been changed and Pair says that all the settings check out.

Appreciate any help.

We have been using Pair Network to host our domains for a long time and we use their mail servers to send out our email. Now we're suddenly getting rejects from Outlook, Hotmail, and Yahoo. Pair tech support tells us there is nothing they can do about this, that those providers have changed their security and that the blocks will be removed within 24 hours, which has not happened!

Has anyone had similar experiences lately and if so, what did you do about it.

My email host Fasthosts has problems dealing with Distribution List (DL) emails but is OK with BCC. When I use a 30 address DL I get the error message: Delivery has failed on the enclosed message for the following reasons reported either by the mail delivery system on the mail relay host or by the local TCP/IP transport module:

501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax
421 4.7.0 smtp.livemail.co.uk Error: too many errors

If I put the DL title in the BCC section would each one of the DL addresses get an email?

I have been reading up on this topic to disable auto black list check as it takes a long time to check addresse. (I only open mails from trusted sources) I note that there is some mention of security tab in renderer. There does not seem to be one. All options in this are greyed out. I am missing something really obvious?
Thanks

I recently created a POP3 rule set to (pre-)filter header text and "Delete from server". In the Download Controls for retrieving POP3 mail, the "Download only unread mail" is on and the "Default action after filtering" is set to Download. In the General settings for that profile, the "Delete mail ... once it has been retrieved" option is on. My intention is to not even download junk mail that I can identify, but load all the rest and then have Pegasus delete it from the server.

The POP3 rule set seems to work fine. I don't get any of the junk mail I don't want and it is deleted (moved to trash) on the server. The problem is that after the other mail is downloaded, it is not deleted from the server. If I attempt to Check the host for POP3 mail again from Pegasus, no messages are loaded (they have been read by Pegasus) but they still are on the server showing as unread in the inbox when I look at them directly on the web mail site. Prior to implementing the POP3 Rule Set, the downloaded messages were deleted properly from the server.

What am I missing? Why are they not deleted from the server now? Any help is appreciated.

I've noticed over the past few months that pmail (win 10 4.80) crashes sometimes when I try to forward email. This does not seem to occur when I use the forward "bounce" option, just when I try to forward it normally.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

I found that AOL requires the creation of an app password in order to use IMAP. I assume this is true for POP and SMTP as well.

You can find this in the web interface under profile-->security.

Tracing was done via TCP logs (enabled in Internet Options), which showed failure to login.

No help needed, just documenting this for the group.

I have recently found that when I save the attachments from a message and return to the relevant folder, then visit another folder, when I return to the folder in which the message was sitting, it has vanished. It took me a while to work out what was happening and to be able to reproduce the problem.

This is proving awkward where I need to reply to the message. I don't know of any setting that would cause this behaviour. Any suggestions as to what might be the cause?

I am using the latest version of Pegasus. I wrote a long email today and ran the spell check. It flagged every work, including common words that were correct.

What is going on?

Yesterday my New Mail folder suddenly disappeared from view. I can't get it back by clicking on open/rescan new mail, nor with Ctrl-L. I can download a message into it, and it increments the total of new messages, I just can't see them! Can I restore it without removing Pegasus and reinstalling from scratch?

Thanks in advance, Ann

Sadly Brian this didn't work. I think you're right that it is opening off-screen, but I deleted the New mail= line and still not joy. Only references to new are

[QMAN]
QueueC:\PMAILNEW\MAIL=104,90,704,481
DraftC:\PMAILNEW\MAIL=5,5,497,336

I was reading that Pegasus mail could open .msg files.

This not only is the file extension which MS Outlook uses, but is also used by my ISP Sonic.net.

I found the reference here:

A guide to Pegasus Mail filenames and file-extensions.

(Extensions existing in the "home mailbox directory".)

vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_pmfiles.html

I have not however been able to open saved email messages with the .msg file extension.

Thank You

Where does one find IErenderer in download form?

Good day!

After the official Windows update to 24H2, whenever I try to MOVE or COPY a message to another folder upon clicking the MOVE or COPY (and possibly other icons) PMail completely freezes and I need to end it via taskmanager. This is reproducable.

Do others have that as well, is this known and do we have a work around for that?

Thank you!

Stefan

Is there a way to search previous messages, please? I don't want to ask a question if it has been asked before. Thanks.

Is there a way to set a different default font for messages other than Arial 10 pt?

Very welcome and useful news from David on how Pegasus is developing.

Kudos for all the seriously hard work, and keep us informed in detail.

Just a thought - I have no idea if this would help, and AI is currently used for fixing or curing anything like faulty toothbrushes and saggy underwear, etc. But it does seem to be helpful in coding, at least by some, e.g. in going from C+ to Rust, etc. Whether it is transparent and auditable enough I cannot say. Which goes to the issue of does it really save time, net of learning curves etc.? David obviously knows what he is doing and what is the best use of his time. But might be worth a try, or at least a look and test?
