How about comparing "before" and "after" versions of a such a file byte by byte, maybe using a test folder with only one or two messages inside?

I experienced two sources of long delays, maybe it is not your case but it might be worth checking:

- my default printer was unreachable (a laptop moved from my office to my home),

- the MAIL folder was under antivirus scan (or maybe Windows indexing service, cannot remember now)

Correct.  The credentials stick until Pegasus Mail is restarted.  If you don't want to have to enter your credentials for each session then enter them in the configuration of that POP3 host.

Tools > Internet options > Receiving (POP3) tab

Thank you!

Thanks Brian. Fixed up zip to remove directory info. New file is http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/pegadd/entry44713.aspx

Didn't think it was. Glossary is a useful alternative.

I have a neutral beige color with just a hint of yellow.  Nice contrast with being bright.

Martin FYI: IER deals the same way with the mouse wheel like BearHtml does. And with regards to paths with blank spaces: My EXE path doesn't have any, but I don't see any issues with using a path containing blank spaces for my mailboxes. Aside from this it doesn't matter for Tom's issue since if it would he wouldn't even be able to launch MSO from within Pegasus Mail. David Harris most likely uses for launching external applications where it isn't required to provide any executable at all.

Unfortunately this is a problem with hi-resolution monitors displaying the fixed font sizes used in much of Pegasus Mail.  This has been discussed a log with no ideal solution being identified.  Some folks use screen magnifiers, other (like me) reduce the resolution of the monitor.  The optimal resolution for my laptop is 1920x1080 but I run it at 1600x900. 

You may have already looked at the help file but if you haven't, press F1 to open it up then in the Contents tab scroll down to fonts to see info about the fonts that can be configured.

That did it! Thank you.

Sounds like your system still isn't back to normal ... I doubt anyone other than MS can help here, maybe you need to reinstall your printer drivers if this issue doesn't cease. For a start you could try installing a Generic / Text Only printer as default printer using the Windows printer setup to see whether it's caused by a corrupt printer driver.

[quote user="irelam"]If you are using Bearhtml or IERenderer  (default) as your Html viewer you can avoid the steps of invoking an external browser, just keying in one of the following:[/quote]

IER even allows you to set a larger default (zoom) size in its configuration (accessible via its toolbar button or main menu entry), and it should always work in HTML (formatted) messages, no matter what the author intended.

Figured it out. Thanks anyway.

[quote user="Marcel"]I have two queries regarding the appearance of Pegasus Mail. I can adjust the font in the message panel for type and size but I would like to also similarly adjust the font in the address and subject bar. How can this be done please?[/quote]

Unfortunately those are fixed fonts that can't be changed.

[quote user="Marcel"]Secondly can the email list of new messages be adjusted to cover the full width of the panel?[/quote]

I don't know exactly what you mean by this.  Windows can be stretched, panes can be resized, column widths can be adjusted if any of that helps.  Perhaps it is the truncation of the From & Subject content that you are referring to.  If so, that can not be changed.

All you needed to do was copy c:\pmail to c:\pmail.

Hello everyone

This is my first post here.

I actually used Pegasus some years ago on win 98. I want to use it again on win 10. However, I have read that nowadays a web based mail program is always a better choice than a desktop one. Some of the reasons stated being that it takes up no space on your computer, it offers more security and it is portable - can check mail anywhere.

So I would like to know what the advantages are of using a desktop email program. In respect of taking up space on your hard drive, [..]

With modern computers space is not a problem anymore.

Thank you Brian for your wonderful assistance. I changed it to POP3 and it's working beautifully now and so is the Selective Mail Download. 

And thank you Caisson for the perfect suggestion of using the web interface to enable/disable POP3 & IMAP. I forgot about this and that's why POP3 wasn't working till now. 

 All the best to you guys. 

Problem solved! It was a conflict with another program: Concise Oxford Dictionary (Eleventh Edition) - and  old piece of software. Thanks anyway.

I suspect there is something going on with the HTML part that is preventing it from being displayed as does Martin based on his request for a copy.  He is the one who can get the ball rolling on identifying the problem and troubleshooting the HTML renderers of Pegasus Mail if needed.

Thanks for moving my post.

There was nothing to stretch, nothing of the main window was visible.

But your recommendation to edit the PMAIL.INI was gold! Now I can check my mails again. Thanks a lot!

What I found a bit strange, there were a few more of these lines. So to be sure I edited all of them. Maybe there is one for each identity?
