[quote user="Michael Robertson"]I am trying to uninstall Pegasus Mail 4.63.  The program is not listed in the Control Panel Add/Install selections.  I can't find an unins000.dat file listed for Pegasus Mail.  I am using Windows XP Pro, SP3.

Its probably a bit late now, but a simple solution is to run the installer. The program should then show up in Add/Remove Programs. 

Each POPxxxxx.PND file is the configuration file for one POP3 host and each SMTxxxxx.PND file is the configuration file for one SMTP host.  They are viewable with a text editor which is how you would determine which host a file belongs to.

If you don't mind, I'd be curious to know (if you know) how you caught the virus.  Was it simply user error, or were you let down by some other security system?

Using PMail 4,70 on Win-XP, I need to regularly import JPeg picture files.

The default presented (perhaps it is by a Windows dialogue box) always offers .BMP as the default instead of .JPG

If I understand your problem correctly, click Tools | Options | Incoming mail | Content viewers and change the viewer for .JPG files.

Luckily NTFS sharing seems to have take care of itself in

this case and I haven’t had to do anything in folder/properties/security. All

the boxes were ticked when I looked there. At the moment my desktop is the only

Win7 machine in the house, with my wife’s desktop and two laptops still using

XP. So far I seem to have been able to avoid Homegroup and get the original XP

workgroup to work. Long may it last!

Very

many thanks to you both again.

Check the download controls settings in the POP3 host configuration. 

The option to delete mail on the server is in the General tab.  I don't suggest enabling that yet but you may wish to at some point.

The option to download only unread mail (mail not previously downloaded) is in the Download controls tab.  You want this one enabled otherwise you keep downloading the same messages.  There are other options here that are worth being aware of but not required for normal operation.

As for the IMAP SSL error, in the Security tab of the IMAP profile is a setting called "Only use SSLv3..."; make sure is is not ticked.

Gmail recommends IMAP though works with POP3.  IMAP leaves mail on the server until you explicitly delete it (local copies are cached if you chose) whereas POP3 downloads the messages to your local mailbox and provides the option to automatically delete them from the server.

That's a great idea, Brian! Thank you! [:)] I feel a little "slow" that I had never thought of that before.

As for my recipients viewing HTML, that will be no problem, as they all use the University's full-featured web client (whose interface I hate, hence my clinging to Pegasus via IMAP - or I guess that should be "IMAP via Pegasus" - and I've kept my Pegasus set not to "generate multipart/alternative..." for years now without any negative feedback from recipients.

Seems like you've provided me with the best solution, as this will allow me to continue using my correction macro in Word, keeping the process efficient! [:D]

Thanks!!

I saw those suggestions. But the most recent instance of this bug was with a message with only 2 recipients -- definitely not a list of addresses or close to any likely limit on address length.

I am using the latest version of Pegasus Mail,  4.72.572.

I have been in touch with David Harris about this, at his invitation in a message above in this forum thread. He has not seen this bug reported before.

I read your post to say that several months ago you moved a large number of messages out of the "Mail in" folder but the message count didn't change because of an index problem.  The index problem is also why messages wouldn't open.  Rebuilding the index corrected the message count to 92.  The rest of the messages should be where you moved them.

You also mention a folder that has grown from a few hundred to several thousand.  To help you troubleshoot consider that the only way messages get moved to folders are:

1.  From the New mail folder to the configured default mail folder if read mail is not allowed to stay in the New mail folder

2. Manually

3.  With filters, either filtering rules or auto-filters

Yep, the button is there; I don't know how I missed it. Thanks.

The

"Show pictures" option is there in the message preview, but not in the

"forward with edit" pane; that's as I noted I suspected.

 The only

thing I see in the forwarding options which *might* affect this is the

"Forward attachments" checkbox, and I have it checked.

OK, it

looks like there's nothing I can do to fix this beyond reporting it to David Harris, and it's taken enough

of your time so you can mark this as "closed"; thanks again.

And as I noted, I *can*

make it work after a fashion by using the "new message with message

attached" forwarding option. Now I just have to remember that... ;-)

Thank you.  I'll try that.

Make sure you are using Pegasus Mail v4.70 then in the Security tab of the SMTP host configuration toggle the "Only use SSLv3" option to see if that solves the connection problem.

Also, in General tab of Tools > Internet Mail Options there is a setting to turn on internet session logging.  Turn that on then test.  The resulting log should identify the exact point of failure in the SMTP connection.  Read the help file about this logging.  It will tell you a little bit about the log and where to find it.  Do not post the entire content of a log because it contains an encoded version of your credentials that can easily be decoded.

Turn logging off when done testing.

Windows 10 in all their typical Microsoft wisdom? has elminated the ability to customise Appearance and Colors... just some lame way to add accent colors. Is there some way to at least change the background color in PMail when deselecting the basic option of "Use system colours"?

Thanks for your help,

Solane 

A new mail filtering rule that is applied when the folder is opened will trigger both when the new mail folder is opened and when the new mail folder is open when the message arrives.  What I suspect is happening in your case is that the user is using Preview mode and the new mail folder was not the active folder when Pegasus Mail is minimized.  In that case, the new mail filter will not trigger until the new mail folder is activated.  The solution is for the new mail folder to be open at all times.

Be aware that a forward filter like you describe will run each time the new mail folder is opened and will trigger on every unread message that meets the filter criteria.  The result could be the same message being forwarded multiple times unless it is marked as read or moved out of the new mail folder after the first forward.

[quote user="weamish"] Just curious, do other folks delete the HTML rendering to save space or whatever? [/quote]

I don't think anyone knows at all. At least you're the first one I heard of.

Thank you very much for that. As I suspected, something simple. Sorry to have to ask a silly question but I find they are the ones that seem to cause me most trouble. Twenty years of using Pegasus and I've yet to encounter a problem that wasn't caused by my lack of knowledge! Thanks.

I wonder if the Mercury version is playing a role in this because my testing was done just prior to upgrading to v4.80.  I am traveling and unable to retest but will do so once I get back to the office and find some time.

Thank you Brian, again.  That's twice that you've got me out of a hole!

I am using DosBox on my Windows 10 64 bit, I have not seen any problems yet. I have not heard anything bad so far about Oracle Virtual Machine either, but have not tried it (no need).  PMConfig runs ok on my machine too
